The English in Egypt, a Popular Event in a Gymkhana - An Apple Race
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Georges Bertin Scott takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing an exhilarating moment during a popular event in Egypt. The scene unfolds at a gymkhana, where spectators eagerly gather to witness the thrilling apple race. The engraving showcases the dramatic equestrian skills of English riders as they compete against each other on their magnificent horses. The intensity is palpable as these skilled horsemen navigate through obstacles with precision and speed, all while balancing an apple on their heads. The image transports us to a time when European culture was deeply intertwined with Egyptian society. It reflects the influence of British colonialism and highlights the shared love for equestrian sports between these two nations. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the cheers from the enthusiastic crowd and feel their anticipation building up. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie that transcends borders and brings people together. Georges Bertin Scott's lithograph beautifully captures this historic event, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in showcasing cultural exchange between England and Egypt during this era.
