EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the eve of a significant historical event. Before the Bombardment of Alexandria on July 7,1882, we witness the imposing Entrance to Alexandria Harbour, guarded by one of its Tower Forts. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, capturing the tranquility and grandeur that once characterized this landmark. The composition is strikingly detailed, with a source size measuring an impressive 3730 x 871. As our eyes explore every inch of this engraving's illustrative technique, we can almost hear the distant sounds of waves crashing against the harbor walls and feel the salty breeze brushing against our cheeks. Alexandria Harbour was not only a gateway for ships but also a hub for trade and commerce. This body of water served as an essential route for transporting goods across oceans - from retail products to cargo and freight. Ships would dock here, their towering masts reaching towards the sky like steeple spires. In this vintage depiction from 1882 Egypt, we are transported into an era where nautical vessels were at their prime. The retro-styled engravement evokes feelings of nostalgia while reminding us of how far transportation has come since then. As we admire this piece from Liszt Collection's vast archives, let it serve as a reminder that history lives within these prints – each stroke telling stories waiting to be discovered by curious minds like ours.
