Al - you can sometimes find individual printed pages on e-bay - so can look there, but its a bit hit or miss. johnnybach

Hi jb


I have had a good look through my copies of ILN 1882 and THE PICTORIAL WORLD 1882 but can find no trace of an EGYPTIAN CAVALRY BAND pictured in either volume. I have found a couple of interesting parade pictures but they are of no help to you regarding the dress of the Egyptians I’m afraid.

The closest I got was the first picture, the caption states "The capture of Tel el-Kebir -The Khedive's band playing in front of the Tribunal, Alexandria in celebration of the Victory" but there is a crowd of inconsiderate people standing in front of the Khedive's band, don't you just hate it when that happens{eek3}

The last picture is one I found on the net which I am sure you have posted before. I even thought I would be clever and try a search under “KHEDIVE BAND” but still no luck I’m afraid

Cheers

Has anyone found an on-line site for LIN archives?

Hi Al

jb is right, there are a couple of Ebay sites that have a large selection of Prints for sale, one has over 190,000 items for sale. the Ebay sellers ID for this site is PRINTS-4-ALL

Yes - they could very well have called it The Khedive Band - so would have been interesting if the crowd hadn't been there. That's a pretty wonderful resource you have there Martyn - and many, many thanks for taking time to have a look for me, which is much appreciated. The last pic IS the one that started me off with the idea - and I have had some help and another pic from our old pal Trooper - and some chaps from another Forum - so have a pretty good idea of what they wore - it would have just been nice to get another secondary source - if possible. Slightly annoying to know they were there - but out of sight!

Thanks again - johnnybach

That fourty pounder is interesting, if the drawing is acurate (and they usually are) that's an old Armstrong breachloader (made in Newcastle upon Tyne at the Elswick Works). Look at the old type wooden hub wheels.

Many thanks Jeff :salute:: The 1884, 1885 and 1898 volumes have some great pictures of various Nile gunboats :wink2:

Are you going to begin a new thread with gunboats Martyn - or can anybody join in?

This is a picture from an issue of "The Graphic" - around 1896 I think. Shows the sheer numbers involved in moving one of these vessels - and also the less than smooth waters they often had to contend with. Ooo-er!{eek3} jb

That is a GREAT PICTURE jb, and a very good idea for a thread :wink2: {bravo}}

Yes - it is a cracking picture - but you are the Guvner as far as pics go - I just trawl the web - and look for bits and pieces - for a fascinating subject area.

"Gun Boats of the Nile" - How about starting one off for us? I know there are others interested - as I've seen threads about them before.

I think you might have this one - as it's from the ILN, 1896 - and a double page spread showing a pair of boats Bombarding Dongola. jb

Hi jb

What a GREAT PICTURE that is as well, unfortunately I don't have the 1896 volumes of the ILN, just put them on my wants list though :wink2:

I'll start next week and have a thorough check of the volumes I do have and see what I come up with :salute::

Excellent - I'll look forward to seeing them - along with quite a few others I'm certain. I'll join in - where I can - with a few pics that I have been able to retrieve from the web and store electronically. Hope other members of the Forum will too - I've seen a cracker from Polar Bear elsewhere, for example.

Fascinating subject - with some wonderful artistic pictures around. Thanks again for showing some from your truly magnificent volumes of the ILN. jb

Superb thread Martyn, enjoying every bit of it. Have you put an order in with Mike for that forty pounder yet? ^&grin

Great Gun Boat picture jb ! {bravo}}

Hi jb

Hopefully it could turn out to be a very interesting and informative thread {bravo}} I've had a quick look through and there are quite a few boat related pictures:wink2:

It would be great if you and others would join in with contributions, there must be loadsa pictures in the ILN's competition THE GRAPHIC and the only volume of this great magazine I have is Jan-June 1881, a year or so before the Sudanese trouble really kicked off

Cheers
