EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, transports us back in time to Alexandria, Egypt, specifically to Station Bacos. The image showcases the bustling energy and progress of this North African city during the early 1900s. The heart of the scene is the tramway station, with its distinctive red and white trolley tram idling at the platform, ready to whisk passengers away to their next destination. The tram, a symbol of modern transportation, is a stark contrast to the traditional horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians that can be seen in the background. The station itself is a testament to the architectural beauty of the era, with its high arched roof, intricate brickwork, and ornate detailing. The station's name, "Bacos," is prominently displayed in bold, cursive letters, adding to the sense of grandeur and importance. The photograph is filled with a diverse array of people, each going about their daily business. European colonizers, Egyptians, and other North Africans can be seen mingling at the station, reflecting the multicultural nature of Alexandria during this period. The vibrant colors of the scene, from the reds and whites of the tram and station, to the greens of the palm trees and the blues of the sky, create a stunning visual tapestry that transports us to a bygone era. This photograph is not only a glimpse into the history of Alexandria and Egypt, but also a reminder of the rich cultural exchange that has shaped the region for centuries.
