EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the architectural splendor of Alexandria, Egypt. The image showcases "The Square of the Consuls" a bustling urban square that served as a meeting point for diplomats and dignitaries from around the world. At its heart stands an imposing monument dedicated to one of Egypt's most revered figures - Mohammed Ali. This intricately designed sculpture pays homage to his legacy as a prominent leader and symbolizes his significant contributions to Egyptian history. The photograph captures not only this remarkable monument but also provides insight into the surrounding cityscape. We are treated to an array of stunning building elements, adorned with exquisite decorations and sections that showcase the rich architectural heritage of Alexandria. Amidst this grandeur, we notice a charming interplay between nature and man-made structures. A solitary tree stands tall amidst the hustle and bustle, providing shade and tranquility in contrast to the vibrant energy emanating from every corner. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that Fiorillo's lens has skillfully captured both form and function within this snapshot. The buildings themselves exude elegance while serving their practical purpose as housing structures for Alexandrians during that era. Overall, this print offers more than just an aesthetic delight; it serves as a historical document encapsulating an era long gone by. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of architecture but also reflects upon how cities evolve over time while retaining fragments of their past glory.
