EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Port of Alexandria, c. 1880-3" takes us back in time to the bustling harbor of Alexandria, Egypt. Captured by an English photographer from the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a vibrant maritime setting with ships of various sizes dotting the expansive sea. The port comes alive with activity as boats navigate through the water and tugboats guide larger vessels into their designated berths. Pallets stacked high with cargo stand ready for trade, showcasing the importance of this port as a hub for commerce. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to an era when Egypt was under British rule and part of the vast British Empire. The presence of both Egyptian and British ships highlights the international nature of trade during that time. The Mediterranean Sea stretches out beyond the port's boundaries, reminding us of Alexandria's strategic location on North Africa's coast. This photograph captures not only a moment in history but also serves as a testament to transportation and connectivity between nations. With its impeccable composition and timeless charm, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through photography.
