Ferdinand Marie de Lesseps, a prominent figure in the 19th century, is captured through various mediums and moments in history. In an oil on canvas painting from 1878, Ferdinand de Lesseps exudes confidence and determination as he gazes into the distance. This portrait by Nadar in 1876 showcases his charismatic personality and strong presence. Born in 1805 and passing away in 1894, Ferdinand-Marie de Lesseps left an indelible mark on the world. A black-and-white photograph of him captures his wisdom and experience gained throughout his lifetime. Another print portrays him with a sense of authority that matches his significant achievements. One of these accomplishments was the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, depicted in a captivating image from around 1871 by Martin. The grandeur of this event reflects not only Lesseps' vision but also his ability to bring it to fruition. The admiration for Ferdinand de Lesseps is evident even after his passing. Port-Said boasts several statues dedicated to him, including one seen between c1918-c1939 which stands tall amidst a general view of the city's harbor. Another statue captures Lesseps' likeness against the backdrop of Port Said's entrance to the Suez Canal - a testament to his lasting legacy. Not only did De Lesseps leave behind physical monuments but also administrative buildings such as those seen near Port-Said's canal entrance offices dating back to c1918-c1939. These structures symbolize both progress and prosperity brought about by De Lessep's endeavors. In another glimpse into history, we see Port-Said harbor during that same period - bustling with activity as ships come and go under De Lessep's watchful eye. Lastly, an intriguing photograph taken around 1882 shows M. De Lesseps at an older age yet still emanating strength and resolve.
