At the beginning of the 19th century, England conquered Egypt from the French and ruled it until 1947.
The caricatures depict English soldiers in Egypt. The caricatures express contempt of the British soldiers, who are presented as corrupt womanizers who want to seize the Egyptian treasures. The Egyptians, on the other hand, are depicted as decent, innocen people who serve the British soldier.
9 postcards. Each postcard has a serial number and a short title that matches the illustration. Under the illustration, a printed signature of the illustrator.
Condition: Very Good.
