EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Alexandria, Egypt in the year 1900. The scene is framed by the magnificent Pompeys Pillar, standing tall in the distance, a testament to ancient history amidst a rapidly modernizing city. The illustration, taken from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, Volume IV, offers a glimpse into Victorian-era Egypt. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this snapshot of daily life. As we explore this street scene frozen in time, we are transported to a different era. Buildings line both sides of the road with intricate architecture that reflects Egyptian craftsmanship blended with European influences. A lane stretches ahead leading our eyes deeper into the heart of Alexandria. Nature finds its place even within this urban landscape; trees and plants dotting the sidewalks bring touches of greenery amidst stone structures. These natural elements soften the otherwise rigid lines and provide respite for weary pedestrians. Through this engraving, we can almost hear echoes of footsteps on cobblestones as people go about their daily routines - merchants selling their wares, families strolling together, and carriages passing by. This print serves as a reminder that while cities evolve over time, they retain fragments of their pasts. It invites us to appreciate how historical landmarks like Pompeys Pillar continue to stand witness to centuries gone by while being embraced by progress all around them.
