EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Moulins a Alexandria" takes us back to the late 19th century in Egypt. Captured by the talented Zangali Brothers, renowned photographers of their time, this image showcases the bustling city of Alexandria in all its glory. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the windmills that dominate the skyline. These majestic structures stand tall against a clear sky, their sails gracefully spinning with each gust of wind. The precision and detail captured by Leonard de Selva's lens transport us to a time when these mills were not just functional but also symbols of progress and innovation. Intriguingly, this photograph was taken from an unusual vantage point - perhaps from one of Cairo's Jesuit Libraries. This perspective allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of these windmills but also provides insight into how they were integrated into everyday life in Alexandria. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are reminded of Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's power as it harnesses wind energy for economic prosperity. Leonard de Selva has masterfully preserved this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to relish in its beauty over a century later. This artwork is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling – an invitation that should be cherished by art enthusiasts worldwide.
