EDITORS COMMENTS
The entrance to the Suez Canal at Port Said, Egypt, in 1895 captures a moment frozen in time. This print showcases the bustling city that emerged during the construction of this iconic waterway. Established in 1859, Port Said stands proudly on the Mediterranean coast as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. In this snapshot from history, we see a panorama filled with intriguing details. On the left side of the image stands the majestic Grand Hotel des Pays Bas, an architectural gem that served as a hub for travelers and locals alike. The canal itself takes center stage, its calm waters reflecting both boats and buildings along its banks. Amidst this urban landscape, men can be seen rowing their boats through the canal's tranquil waters—a scene that speaks volumes about transportation and trade during this era. A lone figure gazes out towards the horizon, perhaps contemplating what lies beyond these shores. This remarkable photograph was captured by an unknown creator but has found its place within 'Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago. ' Published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895, it serves as a visual time capsule transporting us back to an era when global connections were being forged through engineering marvels like the Suez Canal.
