EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Great Square in Alexandria, Present State of the Proposed Church for the English Protestant Residents" takes us back to 19th century Egypt. The image showcases a significant architectural project that aimed to provide a place of worship for the English Protestant residents in Alexandria. In this bustling city square, we witness the construction site of what was intended to be a magnificent church. The intricate details of the proposed design are beautifully captured by the skilled artist from the English School. The grandeur and elegance of this future place of worship can be seen through its towering spires and ornate façade. As we delve into this historical print, it becomes evident that religion played an essential role in shaping communities even during times of colonial expansion. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also offers insight into how architecture served as a symbol of power and influence. "The Great Square in Alexandria" transports us back to an era where religious diversity thrived amidst cultural exchange. It reminds us that places like these were not just buildings; they represented unity, faith, and identity for those who sought solace within their walls. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this remarkable piece today. Its presence allows us to reflect on our shared history while appreciating both the artistic skill behind its creation and its significance within Egyptian society at that time.
