EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Breakwater at Port Said, Egypt. Built by the visionary French engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps, this monumental structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The undated image captures the essence of an era long gone, transporting us back to the 20th century. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this scene, we are immediately drawn towards the damaged sections of the breakwater that bear witness to its turbulent past. The sea crashes against these weathered walls with relentless force, reminding us of nature's power and man's constant battle against it. Alfieri's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of this engineering marvel and its vulnerability in face of time and elements. This evocative snapshot invites contemplation on themes such as resilience, progress, and our relationship with nature. As we delve into Europeana Photography's vast collection, images like these remind us of how photography can capture not only moments frozen in time but also stories waiting to be discovered. Alfieri's skillful lens transports us across continents and centuries while preserving history for future generations.
