EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Quay at Port Said, c. 1878" transports us back to the bustling city that grew around the port at the northern end of the Suez Canal in Egypt. Taken by a French photographer in the 19th century, this image captures a moment frozen in time. In this snapshot, we see a lively scene unfolding on the quay as ships docked alongside each other. The waterfront is teeming with activity - boats of various sizes dotting the water, tugboats maneuvering skillfully between them. The coastline stretches out into the distance, meeting seamlessly with the Mediterranean Sea. To the right of this mesmerizing view stands an architectural marvel -the Port Said lighthouse. This iconic structure holds historical significance as it was not only one of humanity's first reinforced concrete buildings but also served as a guiding light for sailors navigating these waters. As we gaze upon this photograph from a bygone era, we are reminded of how crucial ports like Port Said were for transportation and trade during that time period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to shape our environment through artificial waterways such as the Suez Canal. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to immerse ourselves in history and appreciate both its artistic value and its documentation of an important chapter in maritime heritage.
