Ferdinand de Lesseps: A Visionary Diplomat and Entrepreneur of the 19th Century This colored engraving depicts Ferdinand de Lesseps (1805-1894), a prominent French diplomat and entrepreneur of the 19th century. The portrait, published in The Iberian Illustration in 1894, showcases de Lesseps in formal attire, donning a bow tie and a starched collar, with an air of authority and confidence. His distinguished moustache adds to his distinguished and contemporary appearance. Born in Strasbourg, France, de Lesseps began his career in diplomacy, representing France in various European courts. However, his most notable achievement came in 1854 when he initiated the project to build the Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas. This ambitious endeavor, which was completed in 1869, revolutionized global trade and travel, significantly reducing the time and cost of shipping between Europe and Asia. De Lesseps' vision and determination in bringing the Suez Canal to fruition earned him the title of Vicomte in 1856. Despite facing numerous challenges, including financial difficulties and engineering obstacles, he remained steadfast in his pursuit of this monumental project. This engraving, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, serves as a testament to de Lesseps' enduring legacy. His name is synonymous with diplomacy, innovation, and the indomitable human spirit. This image invites us to reflect on the rich history of Europe and the transformative impact of visionary leaders like Ferdinand de Lesseps.
