EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling port of Port-Said in Egypt during the early 20th century. The elevated view showcases the architectural beauty of this vibrant city, with its tiled rooftops and stunning waterfront. The image provides a glimpse into the thriving maritime industry that made Port-Said an essential trade hub along the Suez Canal. In the foreground, boats are moored in the harbor, ready to transport goods across the Mediterranean Sea. This strategic location played a crucial role in connecting countries and facilitating international trade. The Suez Canal Company, led by Ferdinand de Lesseps, oversaw this vital shipping route. The photograph exudes a sense of history as it captures a moment frozen in time between 1918 and 1939. It invites viewers to imagine themselves immersed in this bustling urban environment filled with activity and commerce. With its monochrome aesthetic, this vintage postcard evokes nostalgia for an era when water transport was at its peak. Today, Port-Said remains an important tourist attraction due to its rich heritage and unique position at the crossroads of continents. This print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a historical document showcasing Egypt's administrative significance within global trade networks during that period.
