EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the scenic road leading to the residential palace of Isma il Pasha, the third Khedive of Egypt, in the city of Ismailia. Ismailia, located in north-eastern Egypt, was named after Khedive Isma il Pasha himself in 1863. The Khedive, also known as Ismail the Magnificent, ruled Egypt from 1863 to 1879, serving as the viceroy and effective ruler of the Egyptian Muhammad Ali Dynasty. Isma il Pasha's palace, a symbol of his power and grandeur, is nestled amidst the lush greenery of the region. The road leading to the palace is lined with tall trees, providing a canopy of shade and an enchanting ambiance. The photograph, taken circa 1900, captures the essence of the era, with horse-drawn carriages making their way along the road. The men in traditional Egyptian attire add to the authenticity of the scene. Isma il Pasha was a significant figure in Egyptian history, known for his ambitious building projects, including the construction of the Suez Canal and the expansion of the city of Ismailia. His palace in the city served as his residence, a testament to his wealth and power during his reign. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual connection to a time when Egypt was ruled by the Muhammad Ali Dynasty and Isma il Pasha reigned as the Khedive, the magnificent ruler of Egypt.
