EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps in Port Said, Egypt. The statue, created by an unknown artist between 1918 and 1939, stands as a testament to the historical significance of this renowned diplomat. Ferdinand de Lesseps was a French diplomat who played a pivotal role in the construction of the Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. This architectural marvel revolutionized water transport and transformed Port Said into a bustling hub for trade and tourism. In this image, we see the majestic statue with its arm outstretched against a backdrop of urban life. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to early 20th-century Egypt. The presence of background people further emphasizes the popularity of this tourist attraction during that time period. Visitors from all over flocked to witness both the grandeur of de Lesseps' monument and experience firsthand one of mankind's greatest engineering feats. As we gaze upon this vintage postcard print preserved by The Print Collector, we are reminded not only of de Lesseps' significant contributions but also how art can capture moments frozen in time. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, these landmarks continue to inspire awe and admiration among travelers from around the world.
