EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the French Post Office in Port Said, Egypt, dating back to the 1910s. Port Said, located at the northeastern tip of the Suez Canal, served as a vital hub for communication between Africa, Europe, and Asia during the colonial era. The French Post Office, a symbol of French influence in Egypt, stands proudly amidst the bustling port activity. The image showcases the architectural elegance of the post office, with its tall, arched windows, intricate stonework, and red-tiled roof. The French tricolor flag flies high above the building, asserting the country's presence in this strategic region. The Egyptian desert landscape can be seen in the background, providing a stark contrast to the European-style architecture. The scene is filled with a sense of energy and activity, as people go about their daily tasks. Postal workers can be seen sorting mail at the counter, while others carry heavy sacks of letters and parcels. Outside, porters load and unload cargo from ships, and horses and carts wait to transport goods to their destinations. The French Post Office in Port Said played a crucial role in connecting people across continents during a time when travel was arduous and communication was limited. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of international communication and the cultural exchange that took place in Egypt during the colonial era.
