EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history during the Universal Exhibition of 1867. The image showcases the Pavilion of the Isthmus of Suez, where Ferdinand de Lesseps, a prominent figure in French engineering and diplomacy, delivers an enthralling lecture. The atmosphere is electric as attendees from all walks of life gather to listen intently to de Lesseps' words. His expertise on the subject matter is evident through his animated gestures and passionate expression. The grandeur of the pavilion adds to the sense of importance surrounding this event. The photo's composition highlights not only de Lesseps but also the diverse audience present at this exhibition. People from different cultures can be seen engrossed in conversation or deep thought while absorbing every word spoken by this influential speaker. This engraving transports us back to a time when Africa was still largely unexplored, and Egypt held immense fascination for Europeans. It symbolizes both curiosity about distant lands and technological advancements that were shaping global connectivity during that era. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography immortalizes this historic moment, allowing viewers today to appreciate its significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how exhibitions like these served as catalysts for cultural exchange and progress across borders—an enduring legacy that continues to shape our world today.
