The Opening of the Assouan Dam - A Historic Moment Captured in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The Opening of the Assouan Dam, 10 December, the Khedive and the Duke of Connaught traversing the Dam on Trollies" takes us back to a momentous occasion in history. The image showcases an extraordinary ceremony that unfolded on December 10th at the majestic Assouan Dam in Egypt. In this remarkable scene, we witness His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, and esteemed dignitary, the Khedive, gracefully traversing across the dam on trollies. Their presence symbolizes not only their royal status but also their significant roles in this grand event. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as members of royalty and distinguished guests gather to witness this engineering marvel. The engraving beautifully captures every detail – from the flowing River Nile beneath them to the intricate design of the dam itself. This print originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News later that month. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering nature's obstacles for progress and development. As we gaze upon this historical gem from our private collection today, it reminds us of how far we have come since that monumental day. It immortalizes a moment when two worlds converged – ancient traditions meeting modern advancements – forever etched into our collective memory.
