Canal de Suez; Le Nord-Est Africain, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving depicting the Suez Canal in its early 20th century glory. The image, created in 1914 and published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the strategic waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, significantly reducing the shipping route between Europe and Asia. The print offers a bird's-eye view of the canal, with its northern eastern section in focus. The engineering marvel, a brainchild of Ferdinand Marie Vicomte de Lesseps, is evident in the meticulously constructed locks and the uninterrupted flow of water, connecting Egypt and Africa. The Suez Canal, an industrial and transportation achievement, was a short cut for the shipping industry, revolutionizing the way goods were transported between continents. The print captures the significance of this route, which brought Egypt and North Africa to the global stage, positioning them as crucial players in the international trade scene. Ferdinand Marie Vicomte de Lesseps, a French diplomat and entrepreneur, initiated the Suez Canal project in the 19th century, and it took over ten years to complete. The accomplishment of this monumental task is a testament to human ingenuity and the power of perseverance. The engraving, with its intricate details and precise shading, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Suez Canal represented a new era in global transportation and connectivity. The print is a valuable addition to any collection, providing a historical perspective on the Suez Canal's role in shaping the world's transportation landscape.
