EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure, the "Map of the Suez Canal" accompanied by various views and portraits of two influential figures from the 19th century. Ferdinand de Lesseps (1805-94), depicted in one of the portraits, was not only a constructor but also received an Act of Concession to build this remarkable waterway in 1854. The map itself provides a detailed plan of the canal, highlighting its strategic importance as a vital trade route. Another portrait featured is that of Ismail Pasha (1830-95), who served as Viceroy of Egypt from 1863 to 1879. As nephew to said pasha, Ferdinand de Lesseps had close ties with Ismail Pasha during the construction period. This print offers us a glimpse into their significant roles and contributions towards making this ambitious project come to life. The lithograph captures both the grandeur and complexity involved in constructing such an engineering marvel. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination throughout history. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this artwork holds immense cultural value. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time when dreams were turned into reality through sheer perseverance and collaboration between nations. Let us appreciate these visionary individuals who shaped our world by connecting continents through this iconic waterway - forever changing global trade dynamics for generations to come.
