EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the Plan of the Suez Canal in Egypt takes us back to the second half of the 19th century, showcasing portraits of key figures who played a significant role in its construction. Ferdinand de Lesseps, Ismail Pasha, Mehemet Ali, Said Pasha, and Prince Mohammed Ali Tewfik are all depicted in this historical image.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, known as the "Father of the Suez Canal," spearheaded this ambitious project that connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Ismail Pasha, Khedive of Egypt and Sudan at that time, supported and financed this monumental undertaking. Mehemet Ali and Said Pasha also contributed to its development during their respective reigns.
The detailed plan of the canal is complemented by various views showcasing different aspects of Egyptian life along its banks. This photograph by Hippolyte Arnoux not only captures a momentous engineering feat but also provides a glimpse into the diverse population living in Egypt during that era.
As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved through photography, we are reminded of the visionaries and leaders who shaped our world through innovation and collaboration. The legacy of these individuals continues to inspire generations to dream big and work towards building a better future for all.
