EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - "The War in Egypt, the Effect of the Bombardment". The image showcases two powerful forts in Alexandria, each revealing a different aspect of warfare during that time. On the left side stands Fort Pharos, with its dismounted cannon. This fortress symbolizes strength and resilience as it bears witness to the devastating impact of bombs and shells. Its walls tell stories of battles fought and lives lost, reminding us of the harsh realities faced by those involved in war. Contrasting this scene is Fort Mex on the right side. Here we see ammunition stockpiled, ready for use against any enemy threat. The sight evokes a sense of anticipation and preparedness amidst chaos, highlighting how crucial supplies were during times of conflict. The 1882 engraving captures not only historical events but also demonstrates illustrative techniques prevalent during Victorian times. With its retro-styled appearance and vintage charm, this print transports us back to an era where artistry played an integral role in documenting important moments. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Arkheia's collection, we are reminded that history is not just about facts; it is about capturing emotions and telling stories through visual mediums like engravements.
