EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1869, amidst the remarkable construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt. The wood engraving, skillfully created by a French artist named Edouard Riou, beautifully captures the essence of this monumental project. As we gaze upon this scenic view, we are transported to a time when human ingenuity and determination were shaping history. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to witness firsthand the immense effort put into creating this vital waterway that connected the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. The image showcases workers laboring tirelessly in what seems like an endless expanse of sand dunes and arid landscapes. Their perseverance is evident as they navigate through rugged terrain and overcome countless obstacles during this groundbreaking endeavor. Riou's drawing masterfully depicts not only their physical exertion but also their unwavering spirit and dedication towards completing such an ambitious undertaking. It serves as a testament to human achievement and collaboration on a grand scale. This wood engraving transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of North African scenery and marvel at mankind's ability to conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges for progress.
