EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the magnificent Port Tewfic, the entrance to the iconic Suez Canal in Egypt, circa 1900. The image, captured using the innovative colour photochrom technique, brings to life the bustling activity and breathtaking landscape of this historic waterway. The Suez Canal, a remarkable feat of engineering constructed by the French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez between 1859 and 1869, revolutionized global trade by connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez. Officially opened in November 1869, it forever changed maritime routes and shortened travel distances for ships crossing from Europe to Asia. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a busy harbor filled with majestic ships and boats navigating their way through this vital waterway. The piers and wharves bustle with activity as goods are loaded onto vessels destined for distant shores. The tranquil waters reflect a vivid blue sky above while framing an enchanting view of North Africa's stunning coastline. Port Tewfic serves as a gateway not only to Egypt but also to countless opportunities for international trade and cultural exchange. This evocative photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at both human ingenuity and nature's beauty intertwined along one of history's most significant shipping routes.
