EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to 19th century Egypt. This historical print, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the pivotal events that shaped modern Egypt. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to a significant meeting held on July 28,1882. Count Corti, along with other influential politicians and military figures from Europe and the Middle East, gather in Constantinople to discuss the Egyptian question. The image showcases their presence around a grand conference table adorned with maps and documents. Notably present are Lord Dufferin, Assim Pasha, Said Pasha, Baron Calice, Marquis de Noailles, M Onou, and Baron Hatzfeld. Their discussions revolve around crucial topics such as railways development in Egypt and military forces deployed in the region. Intriguingly enough, an ironclad train can be seen passing through Lake Mareotis in the background – symbolizing progress amidst political negotiations. This engraving captures both European influence on Egyptian affairs as well as Turkey's role within these dynamics. "The Making of Modern Egypt and the Story of the Soudan" serves as a testament to how history unfolds through diplomatic meetings and strategic decisions made by key players across continents. It invites viewers to reflect upon this transformative era for Egypt while appreciating its rich cultural heritage intertwined with global influences from both Eastern and Western civilizations.
