EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The War in Egypt" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Frank Dadd in 1882, this engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News. The image showcases the bustling streets of Cairo during the Anglo-Egyptian War. As we delve into the scene, we are immediately drawn to the military presence and street corner setting. A cavalry demonstration is taking place, with soldiers on horseback showcasing their skills and strength. Surrounding them are locals dressed in traditional attire, representing the diverse culture of Egypt. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as people wait anxiously for news or updates about the ongoing war. The city's Arab quarter provides a backdrop that adds depth and authenticity to this historical snapshot. At its core, this print captures not only a pivotal moment but also highlights the clash between different cultures and powers during colonial times. It serves as a reminder of Africa's rich heritage while shedding light on North Africa's involvement in conflicts that shaped its history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, allowing us to appreciate Frank Dadd's artistic talent and his ability to capture both human emotion and historical events through his engravings.
