EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the breathtaking sight of The Bourse, or Stock Exchange, in Alexandria, Egypt, illuminated in celebration of the first anniversary of Fuad's ascension to the throne as Sultan of Egypt in 1917. The illumination of this historic building, located in the heart of the vibrant North African city, was a grand display of the prosperity and progress that characterized Fuad's reign. The Bourse, an iconic symbol of Alexandria's commercial and financial importance, was bathed in a warm, golden glow, as the lights danced across its intricate façade. The illuminations, reminiscent of the elegant and ornate architecture of the Ottoman Empire, added an enchanting atmosphere to the already beautiful building. The anniversary of Fuad's ascension to the throne was a time for celebration and unity for the Egyptian people. The Sultan, who was known for his commitment to modernizing Egypt, was beloved by many for his efforts to improve the lives of his subjects. The illumination of The Bourse was a testament to the prosperity and progress that had been achieved under his leadership. The photograph, taken in 1918, shows the building adorned with lights, creating a magical and unforgettable scene. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Alexandria and Egypt, as well as the importance of commerce and finance in shaping the economic landscape of the region. The photograph was taken during the reign of Ahmed Pasa, who served as the Prime Minister of Egypt during this time. This period marked a significant turning point in Egypt's history, as the country continued to modernize and assert its independence from foreign powers. The illumination of The Bourse was a symbol of the country's progress and its bright future under Fuad's leadership.
