EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print, titled "The Building of the Bridge at Canaro, Alexandria, by Lieutenant Colonel Jean Sanucca. Date: 1804," offers a glimpse into the past as it depicts the construction of a bridge in the heart of Alexandria, Egypt. The scene is rendered in meticulous detail by Sanucca, using pen, grey ink, watercolor, and pencil on paper. The bridge under construction spans the width of the tranquil waterway, with its arches gracefully reaching towards the sky. The bridge's design is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, with workers diligently toiling away to bring the project to fruition. The men in the foreground are shown working in unison, some laying bricks, others transporting materials across the bridge on makeshift rafts. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the scene in a gentle light that highlights the intricacies of the bridge's design. The water below reflects the clear blue sky and the surrounding greenery, adding depth and dimension to the image. This print, created by Lieutenant Colonel Jean Sanucca in 1804, offers a unique perspective into the history of Alexandria and the construction projects that shaped the city's landscape. The image captures the spirit of the time, with the industrious workers and the grand architecture coming together to create a scene that is both beautiful and historically significant.
