EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Banquet on board the Faid Gihaad, July 1862,' captures a historic moment in the annals of maritime and social history. The image shows the after deck of the Egyptian Viceroy's yacht, Faid Gihaad, which had arrived at Woolwich, London, on the River Thames. At the time, the Faid Gihaad was the largest steamer ever to dock at Woolwich, measuring an impressive 383 feet in length. The photograph depicts the yacht's deck transformed into a grand room, complete with sun-awnings and side walls, providing a temporary yet elegant setting for a banquet. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the festive atmosphere. The paddle-steamer's grandeur is further emphasized by the presence of ornate decorations and the large number of attendees dressed in their finest attire. The Faid Gihaad, a paddle-steamer, was a symbol of Egypt's wealth and power during the late 19th century. Its arrival in London was a significant event, attracting much attention and curiosity from the local population. The banquet on board the yacht was likely a celebration of the Viceroy's visit to England or a diplomatic event aimed at strengthening relations between Egypt and the United Kingdom. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the grandeur and opulence of a bygone era. The image, which shows the after deck of the Faid Gihaad, is a testament to the ingenuity of the time, as well as the importance of diplomacy and international relations. The Faid Gihaad's visit to London and the banquet on board the yacht remain an intriguing chapter in the history of the River Thames and the maritime world.
