EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "His Highness Isma il Pasha (colour litho)" captures a satirical cartoon by Theobald Chartran, originally published in Vanity Fair on 7 May 1881. This scathing satire depicts the ex-Khedive Isma'il Pasha, known for his extravagant lifestyle and controversial reign over Egypt. In this caricature, Chartran skillfully portrays Isma'il Pasha with exaggerated features and flamboyant attire, highlighting his opulence and arrogance. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the intricate details of the drawing, enhancing its impact. Isma'il Pasha's rule was marked by ambitious modernization projects that ultimately led to financial ruin for Egypt. His excessive spending on grandiose infrastructure projects such as the Suez Canal left the country heavily indebted and vulnerable to foreign control. This satirical cartoon serves as a commentary on Isma'il Pasha's mismanagement of Egypt's resources and his disregard for the welfare of its people. It reflects public sentiment towards him during a time when he was forced into exile due to mounting pressure from both domestic discontent and international powers. The print provides an intriguing glimpse into political satire during the late 19th century while offering valuable historical insights into one of Egypt's most controversial figures.
