EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the scene of a small rope ferry crossing the Suez Canal at Kantara, Egypt in 1875. The ferry, operated by means of an underwater rope, is shown transporting several passengers, two camels, and a donkey. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the late 19th century, connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, significantly reducing the time and cost of international trade routes. The use of a rope-operated ferry at Kantara was a common method for crossing the canal during this period, as it allowed for the passage of both people and animals. The ferry's simple yet effective design, which was similar in style to modern-day chain-ferries, relied on the constant tension of the underwater rope to keep the ferry in place and allow it to move back and forth across the canal. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the transportation methods used during the early days of the Suez Canal. The presence of camels and a donkey on the ferry highlights the importance of animal transport in the region during this time. The scene is reminiscent of the bustling activity that would have taken place at the ferry crossing, as travelers and merchandise made their way between the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The intricate details of the engraving, from the passengers' clothing to the texture of the camels' hides, bring the image to life, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this bustling transportation hub over a century ago.
