EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting aftermath of destruction in Fort Meks, Alexandria, in 1882. Taken by an English photographer during the late 19th century, this print showcases the ruins and artillery left behind after the Bombardment of Alexandria by the British Mediterranean Fleet. Fort Meks was once a formidable Egyptian fortification along the Mediterranean coast, serving as a crucial defense point for Alexandria. However, it met its tragic fate during the Anglo-Egyptian War when it was mercilessly attacked and destroyed between July 11-13. The image portrays a scene of desolation and devastation. The crumbling walls of what used to be a mighty fortress now stand as mere remnants amidst piles of debris. Artillery pieces lie scattered across the landscape, silent witnesses to their own obsolescence. The photograph not only captures physical destruction but also serves as a poignant reminder of human conflict and its consequences. It offers us a glimpse into history's relentless march forward, leaving behind scars on landscapes that were once vibrant with life. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of both the power and fragility inherent in our world. It is through images like these that we can reflect on past events while contemplating how they shape our present reality.
