EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling port of Alexandria in Egypt. Taken on December 30,1958, by renowned photographer Brunner Giorgio, this image captures the essence of a city deeply intertwined with its maritime heritage. The view presented is one of grandeur and activity. The port itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity, with its intricate network of naval and river transportation structures dominating the foreground. The architecture surrounding the port exudes an air of history and significance, reflecting both Egyptian culture and colonial influences. The vastness of the sea stretches out towards the horizon, creating a mesmerizing seascape that adds depth to this composition. Ships dotting the water serve as a reminder of Alexandria's importance as a hub for trade and commerce throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this scene from afar, it becomes evident that water has always been an integral part of life in Alexandria. It has served not only as a method of transportation but also as a source of inspiration for artists like Brunner Giorgio who sought to capture its beauty through their lenses. Beyond showcasing the port itself, this photograph offers us glimpses into daily life within the city. From here we can catch sight of buildings rising against the skyline - perhaps homes or businesses bustling with activity - providing us with an intriguing view into urban existence during that era. Brunner Giorgio's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment while marveling at how much has changed since then. This print serves as both a window into Alexandria's past and an invitation for viewers to appreciate its rich cultural heritage tied closely to its connection with waterways.
