The Bombing of Alexandria, 11-13 July 1882 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the devastating aftermath of the bombing of Alexandria, Egypt in July 1882. The image showcases a panoramic view of the city and its bustling port just as the British fleet launched their action against Arabi Pasha's anti-European riot. Engraved by Frederic de Haenen for "Le Monde Illustre" this historical artwork provides a haunting glimpse into a tumultuous period. The engraving transports us back to an era when conflicts were fought with cannons and battleships. The scene depicts a city ravaged by war, with buildings reduced to rubble and smoke billowing from fires that still rage. Amidst the destruction, remnants of Egyptian transport vehicles can be seen scattered across the streets, serving as poignant reminders of lives disrupted. This image not only serves as a testament to the power struggles between European powers and local leaders but also highlights how ordinary people are often caught in the crossfire during times of political unrest. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are reminded that history is not merely confined to textbooks; it is alive within these visual records that capture moments frozen in time. It prompts us to reflect on our collective past while urging us to work towards building a future where peace prevails over conflict.
