EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century, capturing a group of Egyptians proudly posing in front of the majestic Palace of Ras-et-Tin in Alexandria. Once an ancient royal residence, this grand palace has now been transformed into a space exclusively reserved for official guests. The image showcases the exquisite architecture and intricate details of the palace's facade. The building stands tall and imposing, reflecting its historical significance as a political symbol. Its columns, inscriptions, and decorative elements speak volumes about Egypt's rich heritage and cultural identity. The individuals featured in the photograph are dressed impeccably in traditional clothing that was fashionable during that era. Their proud expressions suggest a sense of belonging and national pride as they stand together against this magnificent backdrop. A street lamp elegantly illuminates their presence, adding an urban touch to this historic scene. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernization, remnants of past eras continue to shape our present-day surroundings. This remarkable artwork by Ernesto Verrucci captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with valuable insights into Egyptian history. Through his lens, we are transported to an era where tradition met modernity – where ancient palaces coexisted with contemporary aspirations. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate the beauty of architectural marvels like Ras-et-Tin Palace while acknowledging their evolving roles within society over time.
