EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard image captures the bustling activity at The Suez Canal Custom's Quay in Port Said, Egypt. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the modern world, connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and has been a vital trade route since its opening in 1869. In this photograph, taken by Terry Parker for Leon and Levy, we see a flotilla of ships anchored at the quay, their sails billowing in the wind. The quay is a hive of activity, with customs officials and sailors scurrying about, exchanging goods and documents. The vibrant colors of the ships' rigging and the contrasting hues of the Egyptian buildings create a stunning visual tableau. In the background, the Suez Canal stretches out towards the horizon, a testament to human ingenuity and the power of global connectivity. Port Said, the northern terminus of the Suez Canal, was a bustling port city in its own right, and this postcard offers a glimpse into its rich and diverse history. The city was founded in 1859 and named after the Khedive of Egypt, Said Pasha, who played a key role in the construction of the canal. Over the years, it became a melting pot of cultures, with residents hailing from all corners of the world. This postcard, published by Leon and Levy, is a beautiful reminder of the Suez Canal's significance as a gateway to the East and a symbol of the interconnectedness of the world. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people and ships that have passed through this historic waterway over the decades.
