1932 Alexandria Railroad Station Alexandria Harbour Ware Houses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the bustling city of Alexandria, Egypt, in 1932. The image captures the essence of this vibrant port city with its iconic harbor warehouses and railroad station. In the foreground, we see a row of majestic warehouses lining the waterfront, their grand architecture reflecting a bygone era. These imposing structures stand as silent witnesses to Alexandria's rich history as a major trading hub connecting Europe and Asia. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the railroad station situated right next to the harbor. Its intricate design showcases both functionality and elegance, serving as a gateway for goods arriving or departing on trains that traversed across Egypt's vast landscapes. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, our imagination runs wild with stories of merchants unloading exotic goods from distant lands or travelers embarking on adventurous journeys through Egypt's enchanting landscapes. The monochromatic tones add an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this remarkable piece. It transports us back to an era when steam engines chugged along tracks while seagulls soared above azure waters. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress during an era defined by exploration and trade. It invites us to reflect upon how cities like Alexandria have evolved over decades while still preserving fragments of their storied pasts.
