Mervyn Mitton Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 The Khedive of Egypt. This was one of Vanity Fair's full page drawings. We started the Egyptian Campaign in 1882 and it continued for the next five years - ending up with our repulse from saving Gen. Gordon at Khartoum. The Khedive's name was Tewfik and this print is from 20th. January 1883. They are hard to come-by now and very sought after by collectors. The medal is dated 1882 and is the GSM.
