EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Non commissioned members of the Royal Engineers on the Sinai Survey, 1868" we are transported back in time to witness a group of intrepid explorers embarking on a significant expedition. The photograph captures an intriguing mix of individuals who were part of this historical survey. From left to right, we see Lance Corporal J. Mailings, Corporal J. H. Brigly, their Arab guide named Jemma, Sgt. James McDonald (the photographer himself), and Corporal W. Goodwin. Each member exudes determination and curiosity as they prepare for their journey through the vast desert landscape. The image showcases the camaraderie between these men as they rest together after a long day's work. Seated around a tripod used for surveying purposes, they take a moment to catch their breaths before continuing their mission. This snapshot not only highlights the dedication of these non-commissioned members but also sheds light on the important role played by the Royal Engineers during this period of exploration and discovery in Egypt's Sinai region. Preserved by the Palestine Exploration Fund in London, UK, this photograph serves as a testament to both British history and early photography techniques. It allows us to glimpse into an era when travel was arduous yet exhilarating, capturing forever these brave souls who ventured into uncharted territories with nothing but courage and curiosity driving them forward.
