EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Mohamed Ali, the esteemed Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, receives envoys from Great Britain in his opulent palace at Alexandria on May 12,1839. The image showcases the grandeur and diplomatic prowess of Ali, who is regarded as the founder of modern Egypt. In this scene, we see Colonel Campbell and Lieutenant Thomas Waghorn seated beside Ali on a lavish divan. The renowned artist David Roberts also joins them, making this photograph even more remarkable as it is believed to be his only known self-portrait. Standing to the left of Ali is Bogosh Bey, an influential Armenian Chief Minister. The composition beautifully highlights the intricate details of their attire and surroundings. The vibrant colors brought to life through lithography by Louis Haghe further enhance the regal atmosphere within the room. This image not only symbolizes diplomacy between Egypt and Great Britain but also represents a pivotal era in Egyptian history when Mohamed Ali's dynasty was established. It serves as a testament to his power and influence during that time. Preserved in private collection today, this extraordinary print allows us to glimpse into an important historical event while appreciating both its artistic value and cultural significance.
