EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Canal of Suez, specifically focusing on the enchanting Bitter Lakes and its iconic North Lighthouse. Taken between 1918 and 1939 by an unknown creator, this hand-coloured postcard showcases the remarkable geographical features that make Egypt a truly mesmerizing country. The image portrays a calm day in cream-coloured tones, with turquoise waters reflecting the clear sky above. The panoramic photography format allows for a wide view of this nautical scene, where ships peacefully navigate through the shipping route connecting Europe to Asia. Wisps of black smoke rise from their chimneys as they sail towards their destinations. The North Lighthouse stands tall against this picturesque backdrop, guiding ships safely through these historic waterways. Its presence adds a touch of elegance to an already breathtaking landscape. This vintage print transports us back in time to an era when travel was more leisurely and adventurous. It reminds us of the importance of water transport as a vital means for global trade and exploration. As we admire this hand-tinted photograph, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both natural beauty and human ingenuity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, certain landmarks endure as symbols of our shared history and interconnectedness across continents.
