This photograph, titled 'Alexandria General View' or 'General View of Alexandria Harbour,' offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant character of Alexandria, Egypt, as it appeared in 1895. The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, provides an unobstructed view of the bustling harbor, with its myriad of ships anchored at the quay, their sails billowing in the wind. The city's iconic lighthouse, Pharos of Alexandria, stands proudly in the background, a testament to Alexandria's ancient maritime heritage. The photograph captures the essence of Alexandria as a thriving port city, with its diverse population and bustling commercial activity. The hustle and bustle of the harbor is mirrored in the crowded streets and markets of the city, where merchants from all corners of the world came to trade their goods. The image also reveals the architectural diversity of Alexandria, with its mix of European, Middle Eastern, and Greek influences. The photograph is a reminder of Alexandria's storied past as a center of culture, commerce, and knowledge. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria became a hub of intellectual and artistic pursuits, with the famous Library of Alexandria attracting scholars and intellectuals from around the world. The city's strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea also made it a key player in the ancient world's maritime trade routes. Today, Alexandria remains an important cultural and economic center of Egypt, with its rich history and vibrant modern-day life continuing to draw visitors from around the world. This photograph, with its stunning depiction of Alexandria's harbor in 1895, offers a glimpse into the city's fascinating past and enduring allure.
