EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Proposed Canal across the Isthmus of Suez, Suez and the Red Sea, South of the Isthmus" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the ambitious plan to construct a canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. The image transports us to Egypt's southern region, where we witness a scene filled with anticipation and possibility. The proposed canal stretches across the vast landscape, cutting through the Isthmus of Suez. Its grandeur is emphasized by its scale against surrounding landmarks such as Suez and the mighty River Nile. Published in The Illustrated Times on November 22nd, 1856, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into an era when technological advancements were pushing boundaries and reshaping global trade routes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on how this groundbreaking project forever transformed international commerce. Today's bustling Suez Canal stands as proof that dreams can become reality when visionaries dare to challenge conventional limits.
