1882 Engraving Alexandria Arabi Pasha Cavalry Cavalrymen Mounted Troops Occupation Skirmish Troopers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Occupation of Alexandria during the War in Egypt. The scene depicts a fierce skirmish between Arabis Cavalry and mounted troops on the banks of the majestic Mahmoudiyeh Canal, near Alexandria. The engraving, created in 1882, showcases exquisite illustrative technique that was typical of Victorian arts and culture. With its retro-styled charm, this print transports us to an era long gone by. Arabi Pasha's cavalrymen are seen engaging with troopers from opposing forces, their horses galloping through the chaos of battle. The image captures both the intensity and bravery displayed by these soldiers as they fight for control over Alexandria. The Mahmoudiyeh Canal serves as a dramatic backdrop to this historic event, adding depth and grandeur to the composition. Its tranquil waters contrast starkly with the violence unfolding on its shores. As we gaze upon this engraved image from Liszt Collection's archives, we are reminded of how art can preserve moments frozen in time. It allows us to reflect on past conflicts while appreciating the artistic skill employed in creating such detailed engravements. This print is not just a visual representation; it is a gateway into history itself - an opportunity for us to immerse ourselves in an important chapter of Egypt's past.
