EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1882 engraving captures the crisis in Egypt, showcasing the fortifications of Alexandria Harbour and the impressive Allied squadron stationed there. The image is a testament to the historical significance of this landmark body of salty water. Intriguingly, amidst the imposing fortifications, we see an array of military might from various nations. The Khedive's Yacht Maharoussa stands proudly alongside Greek Ironclad King George and Egyptian Frigate Mehemet Ali. French Corvette Forbin and British Gun Vessel Bittern also make their presence known, while French Ironclad La Galissoniere exudes power. The scene is further enhanced by other elements such as merchant sailing vessels dotting the harbor and even a glimpse into royal life with Khedive's Palace and Harem in view. This engraving truly transports us back to a time when sea travel was essential for trade and transportation. With its retro-styled vintage charm, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into history, illustrative techniques, and Victorian arts culture. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of naval technology while honoring those who played pivotal roles during times of crisis. Whether you are an avid collector or simply appreciate art that tells stories from our past, this engraved image from Liszt Collection will undoubtedly captivate your imagination.
