EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt, in all its glory during the years 1933-1934. Published in the renowned volume II of "Wonders of the Past" this image showcases the remarkable transportation and sailing boats that frequented these coastal waters. The vibrant colors bring to life the Egyptian landscape, as choppy waves crash against the lighthouse's sturdy foundation. Dating back to ancient times, this iconic beacon served as a vital warning for ships navigating through treacherous waters. Its significance resonates throughout history, earning it a place among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we witness its enduring presence amidst an ever-changing world. The photograph transports us to Alexandria, where sailboats gracefully glide across azure waters under a clear thirties sky. William Harold Oakley masterfully captured this moment in time with his keen eye for detail and composition. As we gaze upon this color print by The Print Collector, we are reminded of Egypt's rich heritage and its profound impact on water transport throughout centuries past. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to create lasting landmarks that withstand both nature's elements and the passage of time.
