EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of the new city on Alexandria, with the iconic lighthouse as its centerpiece. Taken from "Views in Egypt, Palestine and other parts of the Ottoman Empire" by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this image transports us back to a time when Egypt was flourishing under Ottoman rule. The composition beautifully captures the essence of Alexandria's harbor, where bustling activity intertwines with serene coastal beauty. The engraving skillfully portrays intricate details of the architecture and landscape that make up this vibrant cityscape. The lighthouse stands tall and proud, casting its guiding light over the harbor and symbolizing hope for sailors navigating these treacherous waters. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far humanity has come since then. This photograph is not just a window into Egypt's past; it also serves as a reminder of our collective progress and resilience. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every nuance of this remarkable artwork housed in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every stroke made by the original artist centuries ago. Let this evocative print transport you to another era - one filled with mystery, grandeur, and timeless beauty that continues to captivate our imagination even today.
