EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Port Said and the Suez Canal, c. 1875" takes us back in time to witness the birth of a bustling city. Captured by a French photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases an aerial view of Port Said, Egypt, during its early years of establishment. The image depicts a thriving settlement nestled along the banks of the Suez Canal, an impressive feat of engineering that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. The canal itself is visible as a narrow strip cutting through the landscape, serving as both a vital transportation route and an artificial waterway. In this snapshot from history, we see ships and boats dotting the sparkling waters of both seas while tugboats navigate their way through this strategic passage. The port bustles with activity as vessels unload their cargo onto waiting docks. The monochromatic palette adds depth to every detail captured by the skilled lensman. It transports us back to an era when photography was still in its infancy but had already begun capturing moments that would stand for eternity. This remarkable print not only offers us a glimpse into Port Said's past but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to shape our environment for progress.
