EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the enigmatic figure of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener of Khartoum, surprising the gods of ancient Egypt in a whimsical and intriguing turn of events. Dressed in his military uniform, Kitchener, who served as the Secretary of State for War and High Commissioner of Egypt between 1892 and 1898, is caricatured as 'El Lord,' a playful nod to his Egyptian title and his status as a formidable military leader. The scene unfolds in front of an Egyptian frieze adorned with winged deities and iconic Egyptian symbols, including the Sphinx, pyramids, and various hieroglyphs. The backdrop of the Nile River and the desert landscape adds to the authenticity of the setting. Kitchener, with a determined expression and a confident stride, advances towards the gods, holding a map and a binoculars, while a surprised deity, depicted with an aeroplane in hand, looks on. This clever juxtaposition of ancient mythology and modern technology highlights the intersection of the past and the present, as well as Kitchener's influential role in the intersection of the Eastern and Western worlds. This print, created in 1914, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Egypt and the intriguing character of Horatio Kitchener. A testament to the enduring allure of ancient Egypt and the power of British imperial influence, it is a fascinating addition to any collection of historical prints or caricatures.
