Illustration from Queen Victoria by Richard Holmes, published in 1897 on Japanese paper by Boussod, Valadon & Co as a limited edition of 350. After Richard Caton Woodville (1856-1927). Info from wiki: The Battle of Tel el-Kebir or el-Tal el-Kebir was fought between the Egyptian army led by Ahmed Urabi and the British military near Tel-el-Kebir. After discontented Egyptian officers under Urabi rebelled in 1882, the United Kingdom reacted to protect its financial and expansionist interests in the country, and in particular the Suez Canal.
