EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ismail Pasha, Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, Leaving the Ardine Palace, June 30, 1879," depicts a pivotal moment in the life of the former Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, Ismail Pasha. The image, created by the skilled hand of Canedi and published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1879, captures the essence of the 19th century in Africa. Ismail Pasha, born in 1830, ruled Egypt and Sudan from 1863 to 1879. His reign was marked by ambitious modernization projects, including the construction of grand palaces and the expansion of the Suez Canal. However, his extravagant spending and heavy taxation led to widespread discontent among the Egyptian population, ultimately resulting in his overthrow in 1879. In this image, we see Ismail Pasha bidding farewell to the Ardine Palace, the opulent residence where he had lived during his reign. The Khedive is depicted in regal attire, surrounded by ornate carpets and the arches of the palace entrance. The engraving's vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and intrigue of 19th century Egypt. Ismail Pasha's story is a fascinating chapter in African history, and this engraving serves as a visual reminder of his reign and the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and Sudan.
