EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of Alexandria, in Egypt, with the New Port" transports us back to the late 19th century. Taken around 1880 by Fiorillo L. , it offers a glimpse into the bustling cityscape and its architectural marvels. The image showcases the grandeur of Alexandria's new port, a hub for naval and river transportation. The intricate structure stands tall against the backdrop of a serene seascape, symbolizing progress and connectivity. However, beneath this facade lies an allegory that delves deeper into human psychology and societal conditions. As we take in this scene, we cannot help but notice hints of melancholy and sadness embedded within the landscape. The dilapidated houses scattered along the shoreline silently speak volumes about poverty and social inequality prevalent during that era. This juxtaposition between opulence and destitution serves as a powerful commentary on society's stark divisions. Moreover, this photograph captures not only physical aspects but also abstract concepts expressed through individual experiences. It invites us to reflect upon our own psychological behavior when faced with such scenes – do we turn away or confront these harsh realities? In essence, "View of Alexandria" is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates profound emotions and challenges our understanding of society and politics. It reminds us that behind every picturesque view lies complex layers waiting to be explored.
