What better Victorian example than the British bombardment of Alexandria in 1882, when Homer's #1 fan, William Gladstone, was Prime Minister? These two excerpts are from the same article in The New York Times from July 15, 1882.

Below is a cartoon by Albert Bigelow Paine about the incident, I don't have an exact date for it.
