EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Port Said Lighthouse, dating back to approximately 1875. Taken by a talented French photographer from the 19th century, this print showcases an iconic landmark that holds great historical significance. The lighthouse stands proudly as the oldest building in Port Said, Egypt, tracing its origins back to the inauguration of the Suez Canal in 1869. Constructed entirely out of reinforced concrete due to limited access to stone materials in its vicinity, this architectural marvel is believed to be one-of-a-kind during its time. Its innovative design makes it a true pioneer in construction techniques and sets it apart as an exceptional structure worldwide. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the grandeur of this remarkable tower rising against the backdrop of North Africa's Mediterranean Sea. It serves as a symbol not only for maritime navigation but also for human ingenuity and determination. With meticulous attention to detail captured through photography from over a century ago, we are reminded of both our shared history and how far we have come since then. This stunning print evokes awe-inspiring emotions while honoring an extraordinary feat of engineering that continues to stand tall today.
