EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in the 1910s, we find ourselves in the heart of Ismailia, a vibrant city in north-eastern Egypt. Nestled amongst the lush greenery and palm trees, the grand House of Ferdinand de Lesseps stands proudly. De Lesseps, a French diplomat and entrepreneur, is renowned for his pivotal role in the construction and operation of the Suez Canal. The image showcases the elegant residence, with its ornate gate, which once served as the official residency for de Lesseps during his time in Egypt. The carriage, parked in front of the gate, adds a touch of nostalgia and elegance to the scene. The road leading up to the house is lined with trees, creating a picturesque and serene atmosphere. Ismailia, founded in 1857, was established as a military and administrative center for the Suez Canal Company. The city's strategic location made it an essential hub for the successful operation of the canal, which connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, significantly reducing the shipping route between Europe and Asia. The House of Ferdinand de Lesseps, with its grandeur and historical significance, serves as a testament to the rich history of Ismailia and the Suez Canal. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of diplomacy, innovation, and the spirit of exploration.
