EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Pleasure Cruise to the Mediterranean on Board the Steam Yacht 'Victoria', VII, a Warning to Guides at Alexandria" transports us back to the 19th century. The image depicts a bustling street scene in Alexandria, Egypt, where a group of British tourists have just disembarked from their luxurious steam yacht. As they step ashore, they are immediately surrounded by an eager mob of local guides vying for their attention and services. The engraving captures the moment when one persistent guide confronts a gentleman from the cruise party, demanding his custody as his personal guide through the city. The expression on the gentleman's face reveals both frustration and anxiety as he is led away by this importunate persecutor. Meanwhile, other members of the tourist group pause in anguish and concern for their companion's predicament. The scene serves as a warning to future travelers about the challenges faced when navigating unfamiliar territories. It highlights how even amidst great pleasure and luxury on board their esteemed vessel, these British tourists find themselves confronted with unexpected difficulties upon landing. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of both the excitement and trepidation that accompanied such grand voyages during this era. It also sheds light on cultural clashes between European visitors and locals in popular tourist destinations like Alexandria.
