EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Louis IX. Landing In Egypt, (1249), 1890" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures the arrival of Louis IX of France in Damietta on the Nile during the Seventh Crusade in 1249. Despite his imperial ambitions, this brave king would soon face defeat at the hands of an Egyptian army. The photograph is an engraving from Edmund Ollier's renowned book, "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". It beautifully portrays the scene with intricate details and precision. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to that distant time when Christianity clashed with other faiths and nations vied for power. In this monochrome depiction, we see King Louis IX disembarking from his ship onto Egyptian soil. He stands tall and resolute amidst his armed forces who accompany him on this perilous journey. Banners flutter in the wind as symbols of their allegiance and determination. The image not only showcases a historic event but also highlights themes of religion, imperialism, and geography. It reminds us of how different countries were driven by their beliefs to conquer new lands during medieval times. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artistry by an unknown creator, let us reflect on the complexities of our shared human history - a tapestry woven with triumphs and defeats alike along the banks of rivers like the mighty Nile.
