EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases "The Suez Canal Works, Toosoomville, near Timsah, on the Road to Suez". The image takes us back in time to witness the monumental construction efforts of the iconic Suez Canal. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling work site where camels play a vital role in transporting materials and supplies. A group of bactrian camels can be seen traversing the dusty road with their characteristic humps swaying rhythmically. These magnificent animals were essential for navigating through the challenging terrain during this ambitious engineering project. The engraving captures not only the progress being made but also highlights the harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife. Amidst all the commotion, various other animals roam freely around Toosoomville – an oasis amidst vast stretches of desert. This historical print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as well as showcasing Egypt's rich natural landscape. It is a reminder that even in times long past, mankind has strived to conquer nature's obstacles and create pathways for progress. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to inspire awe and appreciation for both civil engineering marvels and our enduring connection with wildlife.
