EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1900, offering a glimpse into the remarkable Suez Canal in Egypt. The illustration is sourced from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, Volume IV, published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness a bustling scene along the Suez Canal during the 19th century. A majestic steamship proudly sails through the waterway while displaying its country's flag with pride. The ship represents an era when water transport was at its peak as a means of global connectivity. The location itself holds historical significance as it symbolizes Africa's vital role in international trade routes. Flags from various nations flutter in the wind, emphasizing the canal's importance as a hub for ships from around the world. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur of this engineering marvel and its impact on global transportation networks. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. Notably present is Ferdinand de Lesseps, who spearheaded the construction of this iconic canal. His vision brought together nations and revolutionized maritime trade between Europe and Asia. As we gaze upon this stunning print created by an unknown artist but preserved by The Print Collector collection, we are transported back to an era that forever changed our understanding of connectivity across continents.
