EDITORS COMMENTS
The War in Egypt, the Grand Review of the British Army at Cairo, 30 September, View from the Khedives Pavilion" is a captivating engraving by Charles J. Staniland that offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The image captures the grandeur and ceremonial atmosphere of this event during the Anglo-Egyptian War. From the vantage point of the Khedives Pavilion, we are presented with an expansive view of Cairo and its surroundings. The scene is bustling with activity as politicians, ulemas (Islamic scholars), and high-ranking military officials gather to witness this historic occasion. Intriguingly, amidst all these figures stands a German attache who adds an international dimension to this display of power. It highlights how global interests were intertwined during this period. The composition skillfully portrays various elements: rows upon rows of British soldiers standing tall in their uniforms; Egyptian civilians observing from afar; and dignitaries such as Sir E Malet, Sir Garnet Wolseley, and Sir Beauchamp Seymour taking their positions at the saluting point. This engraving not only documents an important military review but also provides insight into colonial politics and relationships between nations. It serves as a reminder of Britain's influence over Egypt during this time. Staniland's attention to detail brings life to every corner of this print - from architectural features to individual expressions on people's faces. This artwork allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating its artistic merit.
