EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time, showcasing the Suez Canal as a ship gracefully enters the Red Sea near Port Tewfic. Taken around 1900, this colour photochrom offers a vivid glimpse into the monumental engineering feat that is the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through Egypt's Isthmus of Suez, was constructed by the French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez between 1859 and 1869. Officially opened in November 1869, it revolutionized global trade by providing a shortcut between Europe and Asia. In this image, we see an elegant vessel named Golconda sailing through these historic waters. Built in 1887, she represents both the advancements in maritime technology at that time and her role as part of this vital waterway. The composition showcases not only the ship but also highlights various elements of this bustling port city. The landscape surrounding Port Tewfic comes alive with activity - boats dotting its harbor while ships navigate their way through this strategic water passage. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era when human ingenuity triumphed over geographical barriers. It serves as a reminder of how our world has been shaped by ambitious endeavors like constructing canals that connect continents and facilitate global trade.
