EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ismailia - The Canal, c1918-c1939" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in Egypt. The image showcases the bustling Suez Canal, a vital waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. With its vibrant colors and clear blue skies, this vintage photograph exudes an air of tranquility and adventure. In the foreground, we see a traditional Egyptian felucca sailboat gracefully moored along the canal's edge. Its white sails stand tall against the backdrop of Ismailia, a picturesque city located on its banks. A lone man stands near the boat, perhaps overseeing its operations or simply enjoying a moment of respite amidst his daily routine. The scene is further brought to life by background figures going about their day-to-day activities. Men can be seen walking along the barrier that separates land from water while others engage in conversations nearby. This snapshot offers us glimpses into ordinary lives during this era in Middle Eastern history. As we admire this postcard-like print preserved through time, it serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur. It invites us to reflect on how transportation and travel have evolved over decades while appreciating Egypt's rich cultural heritage intertwined with its geographical significance.
