EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the year 1869, during the construction of the Suez Canal in Kantara, Egypt. The image showcases a bustling scene at a restaurant specifically built for travelers crossing this monumental waterway. The exterior of the restaurant is depicted with intricate detail in this contemporary French wood engraving after a drawing by Édouard Riou. It stands proudly along the shore, overlooking the canal and providing respite for weary travelers making their way through Africa's maritime routes. In this vibrant depiction, we see various modes of transportation that were prevalent during that time period. A steam boat gracefully glides across the water while row boats dot its surface. Workers can be seen diligently engaged in construction work nearby, highlighting the industriousness required to complete such an ambitious project. The Suez Canal was not only a feat of engineering but also served as a vital link between Europe and Asia, significantly reducing travel times and opening up new trade opportunities. This print captures both the historical significance and grandeur of this iconic landmark. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to another era - one filled with adventure and progress. It serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our ability to overcome challenges in pursuit of connectivity and growth.
