EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1869, during the construction of the iconic Suez Canal in Ismailia, Egypt. The image showcases a scene of leisure and relaxation amidst the bustling construction site. A group of workers and locals can be seen enjoying a refreshing sea bath on a beautiful beach along the canal. The contemporary French wood engraving, based on an original drawing by Édouard Riou, perfectly captures the essence of this historical moment. The intricate details and delicate lines bring to life the vibrant atmosphere surrounding these individuals as they take respite from their arduous tasks. In this snapshot, we witness not only a temporary escape from work but also a glimpse into daily life during this significant period in maritime history. The presence of boats further emphasizes the importance of water transportation for both recreation and commerce. The Suez Canal's construction was an ambitious endeavor that connected two continents and revolutionized global trade routes. This image serves as a reminder that even amid such monumental projects, people still found solace in simple pleasures like bathing in the ocean.
