Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases two majestic Indian transport ships setting sail from the iconic Suez Canal. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and adventure as these troopships embark on their journey. The Bengal and Oriflamme stand tall against the backdrop of Egypt's stunning landscape, symbolizing both India's rich heritage and its pivotal role in global trade during that era. Commissioned for The Illustrated London News on June 15,1878, this illustration captures a historical event that marked an important milestone in international transportation.

The intricate details within this engraving bring to life every aspect of departure – from bustling activity on deck to billowing sails catching wind. It serves as a testament not only to the skillful craftsmanship of the artist but also to humanity's enduring spirit of exploration and connection. Preserved within private collections around the world, this remarkable piece reminds us of our shared history and celebrates the ingenuity behind one of mankind's greatest engineering feats –the Suez Canal.
