EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sultan Hussein Kamel of Egypt (1853-1917) is depicted in solemn contemplation, surrounded by the trappings of power. Having ascended to the throne in 1914, his reign was marked by the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War. The image captures the Sultan in the prime of his life, yet the weight of the world seems to rest heavily upon his shoulders. Flanking the Sultan are two poignant verses penned by renowned British journalist and author, Sidney Low (1870-1917). Entitled "The Martyrs," these lines mourn the loss of innocent lives in the German bombardment of Hartlepool, Whitby, and Scarborough on December 16, 1914. The bombing of these North Eastern English towns marked the first major attack on British soil during the war, causing widespread panic and devastation. The juxtaposition of the Sultan's regal presence and the mournful verses serves to highlight the far-reaching impact of the conflict. The British protectorate in Egypt, represented by the Egyptian monarch, and the civilian populations of Hartlepool, Whitby, and Scarborough were both victims of the war's brutal reality. The image and poetry together encapsulate the sense of loss, uncertainty, and shared human experience that defined the early years of the First World War. The photograph, taken in 1914, offers a poignant reminder of a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the Great War. The haunting verses of Sidney Low add depth and emotion to the image, creating a powerful visual narrative that resonates with the historical significance of that era.
