EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by the talented artist Edouard Riou in 1869, this fine art image is now housed in the prestigious Musee national du chateau de Compiegne. The artwork depicts an awe-inspiring scene from the inauguration of the iconic Canal de Suez, a monumental engineering feat connecting Egypt and France. The graphic arts technique used here brings vibrant colors to life through a mesmerizing colour lithograph. Intriguingly, this particular piece focuses on "La Tribune des Souverains" or the Sovereigns' Tribune - an elevated platform where world leaders gathered to witness this historic event. It serves as a testament to diplomacy and international cooperation during that era. Port Said, one of the key locations along the canal's route, can be seen bustling with activity in exquisite detail. This print not only showcases academic art at its finest but also provides valuable insights into how commerce and trade flourished between Egypt and France. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact from over 150 years ago, we are reminded of humanity's ability to overcome challenges and unite nations for progress.
