EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Alexandria, Egypt, as seen through the eyes of a traveler in the early 1900s. The image features two iconic landmarks of the city: Pompey's Pillar and Fort Napoleon. Pompey's Pillar, located in the ancient Roman site of Alexandria, is a remarkable 30-meter (100-foot) high monolithic column. It was erected in AD 293 to honor Emperor Diocletian and is the tallest ancient monument in Old Alexandria. The column's elegant Corinthian capital is adorned with intricate carvings, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of ancient artisans. In the background, Fort Napoleon stands proudly, a testament to the French occupation of Egypt during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Napoleon Bonaparte, the legendary French military and political leader, left behind one of his cannons at the fort before departing Egypt in 1799. The fort's imposing silhouette, with its distinctive red-and-white stripes, contrasts starkly against the clear blue sky, emphasizing the blend of ancient and modern history in this fascinating city. The photograph, taken circa 1901, captures the essence of Alexandria's unique charm and historical significance. The warm, golden tones of the image evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, inviting viewers to explore the captivating stories that lie within these ancient walls.
