EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Scenes on the Banks of the Suez Canal" takes us back to 19th century Egypt and offers a glimpse into the bustling activity along this historic waterway. The print, part of a private collection, showcases various scenes that unfolded on the banks of the canal. In this vivid depiction, we see an array of maritime vessels entering and waiting at different points along the canal. The port city of Port Said comes to life with its busy harbor filled with ships from around the world. Menzaleh Lakes provide a picturesque backdrop as boats navigate through these serene waters. The artist skillfully captures both natural beauty and human presence in this scene. A cavalcade passes by as caravans traverse across desert landscapes towards their destinations. A ferry boat ferries passengers across sections of the canal while men gather on its banks for leisurely activities or simply to observe passing ships. One cannot help but marvel at how this engineering marvel transformed transportation and trade routes between Europe and Asia during that time period. The bitter lakes stand testament to man's triumph over nature, creating a navigable passage where none existed before. This engraving serves as a visual reminder of the historical significance and grandeur associated with one of mankind's greatest achievements - The Suez Canal. It is truly an invaluable piece capturing moments frozen in time for generations to appreciate and admire.
