Alexandrie; Le Nord-Est Africain,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving from the 1910s, showcases Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt and a significant cultural and historical hub in North Africa. This intricately detailed print, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of Alexandria during the early 20th century. The image reveals Alexandria's strategic location on the northeastern coast of Egypt, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Nile Delta. The city's bustling port is depicted, with ships anchored in the harbor, reflecting Alexandria's role as a vital trading center between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The Nile River, the lifeline of Egypt, is also featured, flowing into the Mediterranean Sea and creating the fertile Nile Delta. Lake Mariout, a large freshwater lake, is visible in the northwest, adding to the rich hydrographic features of the region. The print highlights Alexandria's unique blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences, with the Mizraim pyramids and other ancient structures juxtaposed against modern buildings and European-style architecture. The image captures the city's cosmopolitan character, making it a testament to Alexandria's enduring history and cultural significance. This evocative print provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the urban development and geographical features of Alexandria during the 1910s. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich history, its strategic importance, and its role as a bridge between continents and cultures.
