EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image showcases the grandeur of Port Said, Egypt, with the iconic Queen Victoria Statue and the majestic Office of the Suez Canal Company in the foreground. The statue, erected in 1882 to commemorate Queen Victoria's reign and the opening of the Suez Canal, stands proudly overlooking the bustling port city. The intricate details of the statue, including the queen's regal expression and the ornate crown atop her head, are beautifully captured in this photograph. In the background, the impressive Office of the Suez Canal Company dominates the scene. The grandiose building, with its tall columns and intricate architectural details, served as the headquarters for the Suez Canal Company and was a symbol of the British control over the canal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The fountain in front of the office, adorned with intricate designs and topped with a ship's figurehead, adds to the overall grandeur of the scene. The waters of the Suez Canal, stretching out towards the horizon, add to the sense of movement and activity in the port. Ships of various sizes and shapes can be seen in the distance, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The combination of the historic statue, the impressive office building, and the bustling port activity make this a truly iconic image of Port Said and the Suez Canal in Egypt during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
