EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, showcases the breathtaking waterfront view at Port Said, Egypt. Located at the northeasternmost tip of the Suez Canal, Port Said was a bustling international port city during the late 19th century, serving as a crucial link between Europe and Asia. The image reveals a serene and picturesque scene, with the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea gently lapping against the shore. The quay, lined with tall, imposing warehouses and shipping cranes, stretches out into the distance, providing a stark contrast to the tranquil water. Sailboats and steamships can be seen anchored in the harbor, their masts standing tall against the clear blue sky. The bustling activity of the port is reflected in the hustle and bustle of the people on the quay. Men in traditional Egyptian garb can be seen loading and unloading cargo from the ships, while others go about their daily business. In the background, the city of Port Said can be glimpsed, with its narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and mosques, giving a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this vibrant and diverse city. This photograph is a testament to the importance of Port Said as a vital trade hub during the late 19th century, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of this remarkable city. The timeless beauty of the waterfront view, with its stunning combination of natural and man-made elements, continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
