EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Lesseps Street in Port-Said, Egypt captures the essence of a bustling city at the northern end of the Suez Canal. The French photographer beautifully showcases the architecture and street life of this historic Egyptian city, founded in 1859.
The image is part of a bound booklet of postcards from around 1910, providing a glimpse into daily life during that era. Port Said's strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea made it a vital hub for trade and transportation through the canal.
As you study this photograph, you can almost hear the sounds of vendors calling out their wares and see residents going about their daily routines. The intricate details captured by the photographer truly bring this scene to life.
Port-Said is not just a place; it is a melting pot of cultures and histories that have shaped its identity over time. This print serves as a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich tapestry of experiences that make up this vibrant city on Africa's northern coast.
