EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the entrance to Lake Timsah, located in the Suez Canal, around 1900. The image, beautifully captured using the colour photochrom technique, transports us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of its time, was constructed by the French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez between 1859 and 1869. This vital waterway connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through Egypt's Isthmus of Suez. Officially opened in November 1869, it revolutionized global trade by providing a shortcut for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. In this picture-perfect scene, we are treated to a mesmerizing view of a ship gracefully crossing through this man-made wonder. The landscape surrounding the canal is awe-inspiring; vast stretches of water merge seamlessly with lush greenery along its banks. As our eyes wander further into the distance, we catch glimpses of Africa's majestic Nile River flowing nearby. This photograph not only captures a snapshot from history but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and determination. It symbolizes mankind's ability to conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges and shape our world according to our needs. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, let us appreciate how this single photograph encapsulates centuries worth of maritime history and stands as testament to humanity's constant pursuit of progress.
