EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ismailia, a town founded in 1863 by Ferdinand Lesseps on Lake Timsah, which is part of the iconic Suez Canal. The image showcases the remarkable beauty and charm of this North African resort town during its early days. In the foreground, a boat gracefully glides through the tranquil waters of Lake Timsah, reflecting the clear blue sky above. On its deck stands a camel, seemingly at ease amidst this picturesque scene. The presence of both traditional modes of transportation symbolizes the harmonious blend between ancient traditions and modern progress that characterized Ismailia. The wood engraving from an old French newspaper transports us back to 1869 when this snapshot was captured. It offers us a glimpse into mid-19th century life in Ismailia, with its bustling streets and vibrant exterior architecture. Ismailia's strategic location along the Suez Canal made it an important hub for trade and commerce even then. However, beyond its commercial significance lies a hidden gem—a serene oasis where locals and visitors alike could escape to enjoy nature's wonders. As we admire this historical artifact today, let us appreciate how far Ismailia has come since its humble beginnings as a visionary project by Ferdinand Lesseps. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in shaping landscapes and creating thriving communities against all odds.
