Le Delta du Nil; Le Nord-Est Africain,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and intricately detailed engraving from the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the geography and urban centers of Egypt during the 20th century. The print, created by an unknown artist for the French publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, showcases the Nile Delta and the northeastern region of Africa. The image begins with the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, its calm blue waters lapping against the shores of North Africa. The Nile River, a lifeline for the region, can be seen winding its way through the arid landscape, its meandering path marked by the lush greenery of the delta. The delta, teeming with life and agriculture, is a stark contrast to the barren desert that surrounds it. The urban centers of Alexandria and Cairo, two of Egypt's most significant cities, can be seen along the coast. Alexandria, with its harbor and grandeur, is a bustling metropolis, while Cairo, the capital, is depicted as a sprawling urban area, its streets and buildings extending far into the desert. The delta region is also home to several important locations, including Damietta in the eastern Nile Delta and Dumyat (Misr Bahri) in the western Nile Delta. These cities are marked on the map, adding to the intricacy and detail of the print. The Nile Delta, a crucial part of Egyptian history and culture, is depicted in all its glory in this engraving. The print serves as a testament to the rich geography and history of Egypt and North Africa during the early 20th century. Despite being over a century old, the print continues to captivate and intrigue, offering a glimpse into a time long past.
