EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic relief diagram by renowned illustrator G.H. Davis depicts Alexandria, Egypt's ancient and chief seaport since 330 BC, and the crucial naval base of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet during the momentous events of World War II. The image, published by the Illustrated London News in 1941, offers a breathtaking view of the city and its harbor, nestled along the Mediterranean coast. Alexandria, a cultural melting pot and a vital strategic location, was under constant threat during the war from Axis warplanes operating from Crete and Libya. The British and Allied forces, determined to protect this vital city and naval base, worked tirelessly to maintain control of the waters and secure their position in the Mediterranean. The intricate detail in Davis's map reveals the layout of the city and its harbor, including the various docks, fortifications, and military installations. The double-page spread, with its expansive view and clear labeling, offers a unique perspective on the geography and military significance of Alexandria during this pivotal period in history. As the Allied forces faced the threat of German and Axis aggression, the importance of Alexandria's seaport and naval base became more apparent than ever. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Allied forces, as they worked to protect this ancient city and secure their position in the Mediterranean theatre of World War II.
