EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the grand "Entry of the Sovereign in the Suez Canal at Port Said" during the inauguration of this monumental engineering feat. Taken by Leonard de Selva, this image showcases the bustling scene as a majestic sailboat glides through the canal's waters amidst cheering crowds. The artist, Edouard Riou, masterfully engraved this scene from G. Nicole's painting to immortalize this significant event that took place in 1869. The Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris proudly houses this remarkable piece of art. Intriguingly, what makes this photograph truly special is its ability to transport us back to a time when Africa was still largely unexplored by many Europeans. It offers a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage while highlighting how transportation played an essential role in connecting nations. As we admire this engraving turned photograph, we cannot help but marvel at both human ingenuity and nature's wonders. The Suez Canal stands as a testament to mankind's determination and perseverance, forever altering global trade routes. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured every intricate detail within these frames, allowing us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty that lies within them. This print serves as a reminder of our shared past and inspires us to continue pushing boundaries for progress and unity across continents.
