EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Port-Said in the early 20th century. The image captures Lesseps Street, a vibrant avenue filled with local people going about their day. The scene is teeming with activity as men, women, and children traverse the road, creating a lively atmosphere. In the foreground of the photograph, we see a group of boys engrossed in conversation while one young girl stands nearby, her curious gaze fixed on something beyond our view. These children represent an era long gone by but evoke a sense of timeless innocence amidst the urban chaos surrounding them. The architecture lining Lesseps Street showcases classic Egyptian design elements blended harmoniously with European influences. This fusion reflects Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its position as a gateway between East and West. As we delve into this monochrome snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Port-Said was not just a busy port city but also an intersection where diverse cultures converged. The Mediterranean ambiance permeates every corner of this enchanting location. Although captured by an unknown photographer between 1918 and 1939, this vintage postcard transports us to an era when travel was slower-paced yet full of discovery. It serves as both a window into Egypt's past and a reminder that even amid rapid modernization, there are moments frozen in time waiting to be rediscovered through photographs like these.
