EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Clearing the Streets of Alexandria, c1896" captures a pivotal moment in history - the Bombardment of Alexandria in Egypt by the British Mediterranean Fleet. Taken from the book "Battles of the Nineteenth Century, Vol. II" published in 1902 by Cassell and Company, Limited, this monochrome image transports us back to a time when war and conflict shaped nations. In this scene, we see a group of determined men dressed in military attire amidst the chaos of battle. Aiming their cannons towards an unseen enemy, they stand resolute against the backdrop of a building exterior. The wheel-like structure beside them symbolizes both strength and destruction. The photograph evokes a sense of urgency and tension as these brave soldiers fight for their cause. Their sailor suits indicate that they are part of the British fleet sent to assert dominance over Alexandria during this turbulent period in Egyptian history. This print is not merely an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on significant events from the late 19th century. It reminds us how conflicts shape societies and leave lasting imprints on our collective memory. As we gaze upon this black-and-white portrayal frozen in time, we are reminded to reflect upon humanity's capacity for both creation and destruction - themes that resonate throughout literature and art across centuries.
