EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling port of Port Said, Suez, around the year 1900. The vibrant colors of this photochrom capture the essence of a bygone era, transporting us to a moment when maritime trade was at its peak. The image showcases the strategic importance of the Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez. Constructed by the French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez between 1859 and 1869, this engineering marvel revolutionized global shipping routes upon its official opening in November 1869. In this scene, we witness a hive of activity as ships and boats navigate their way through this vital waterway. The harbor is filled with vessels from various nations, representing Africa's rich diversity and Egypt's prominent position as a maritime hub. The composition also highlights other elements that define this region: piers and wharves jutting out into calm waters; feluccas gracefully gliding along; and glimpses of both urban development and natural landscapes surrounding Port Said. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded not only of human ingenuity but also how interconnected our world has always been. This photograph serves as a visual testament to Egypt's significant role in shaping global trade routes throughout history.
