EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a camel train making its way across the Suez Canal in Egypt during the 1910s. The scene takes place at Kantara, where a traditional rope ferry, reminiscent of modern-day chain ferries, is in operation. The ferry's underwater rope system is used to transport the camels and their passengers, as well as other vehicles and goods, from one side of the canal to the other. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Egyptian people, who relied on such ferries to traverse the waterway before the era of steam ships and modern infrastructure. The camels, with their humped silhouettes and patient demeanor, contrast sharply with the industrial ferry, creating a striking juxtaposition of old and new. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of its time, played a crucial role in connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, allowing for easier and faster trade routes between Europe and Asia. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of international commerce and transportation in Egypt, as well as the unique challenges and solutions that arose from the geography of the region. This image, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, as well as the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient history and modern-day wonders.
