EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the somber scene of the Cholera Camp of the 79th Regiment (Cameron Highlanders) on the Mokattam Heights in Cairo. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into a significant historical event. The image showcases rows of tents set up on the arid landscape, with soldiers from the Cameron Highlanders regiment going about their duties. The atmosphere is one of urgency and concern as they combat a deadly cholera outbreak that plagued Egypt during this time. The composition skillfully portrays both the vastness of Mokattam Heights and the cramped conditions within the camp. The viewer can almost feel the stifling heat and smell lingering in the air. Despite these challenging circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of resilience among these brave men who have come together to fight against this devastating disease. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on September 15,1883, offering readers back home a visual representation of life at this cholera camp. Today, it serves as a poignant reminder of not only past epidemics but also human strength and determination in times of crisis. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this print provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating both its beauty and solemnity.
