EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and pomp of The Queen's birthday celebrations in Cairo during the late 1890s. The British garrison, led by Lord Cromer and General Sir Evelyn Baring, stands at attention in the sun-drenched square, saluting the Union Jack as it is "trooped" before them. The ceremony of Trooping the Colour, a long-standing tradition in the British military, was a symbol of the monarch's presence and authority. The image, taken in 1899, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical significance of the British presence in Egypt during this period. Lord Cromer, the Consul-General of Egypt and Sudan, had been instrumental in establishing British rule over the region, and the garrison's presence was a reminder of the country's colonial status. The soldiers, dressed in their red jackets and bearskins, march in perfect formation, their rifles at the ready. The air is filled with the sound of boots on the ground and the crisp commands of their officers. The scene is one of discipline, order, and tradition, as the troops pay tribute to their monarch, Queen Victoria, on her birthday. This photograph, from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history of the British Empire and its military traditions. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a moment of grand celebration in the heart of Cairo.
