EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Port-Said in the early 20th century. The general view showcases the architectural beauty of this Egyptian city, with its cream-colored buildings standing against a clear blue sky. In the foreground, we see a magnificent statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps, seated on a boulder as if contemplating his great achievement. Ferdinand de Lesseps was a French diplomat and engineer who played a crucial role in the construction of the Suez Canal. This monument serves as a tribute to his remarkable contribution to transportation and trade between Europe and Asia. The image also provides glimpses into daily life at that time. Background people can be seen strolling along the harbour wall, while boats dotting the Mediterranean Sea add an element of movement to this serene scene. As we gaze upon this vintage postcard from an album, it transports us back to an era when travel and tourism were beginning to flourish. Port-Said's charm as a tourist attraction is evident in every detail captured by the unknown creator of this photograph. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by history, this print offers both aesthetic pleasure and valuable insights into Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
