EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The War in Egypt, 'Charge!' Kassassin, 28 August" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print captures the intensity and drama of the Anglo-Egyptian War. In this scene, we witness a courageous charge led by British soldiers on horseback. The date is August 28th, and they are at Kassassin - a pivotal location during the conflict. The horses gallop forward with determination as their riders brandish weapons ready for battle. The composition exudes energy and tension as smoke billows around them. Published in The Graphic on September 16th, 1882, this illustration offers viewers a glimpse into the realities of war in Egypt during that time period. It serves as both documentation and artistic interpretation of historical events. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke conveys movement and emotion. This print not only showcases the bravery of those involved but also highlights the power dynamics between nations at play. Now part of a private collection but available for public viewing through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving allows us to reflect upon past conflicts while appreciating its artistic merit. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments that shape our world forever.
