Avenue de Lesseps in Port Said, Egypt (circa 1890s): A Stroll Through the Urban Heart of a Historic City Step back in time and join us on a journey to the bustling streets of Port Said, Egypt, during the late 19th century. This photograph, taken around 1890s, showcases the vibrant Avenue de Lesseps, the city's main thoroughfare, teeming with activity. The Avenue de Lesseps, named after the French diplomat and Suez Canal builder Ferdinand de Lesseps, was the heart of this burgeoning town. The image reveals a lively scene of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages navigating the wide, cobblestone street, while the background is filled with the intriguing mix of architectural styles that characterized this multicultural hub. The photograph, captured on an albumen or collodion print, offers a glimpse into the early days of this historic city. The urban landscape is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place during this era, as people from diverse backgrounds came together to trade, explore, and build a new community. Transportation was an essential aspect of daily life in Port Said, and the Avenue de Lesseps was a testament to the city's modernity. The presence of horse-drawn carriages and the absence of motorized vehicles highlights the transition from traditional to more advanced modes of transport. As you wander through the streets of Port Said, imagine the sights, sounds, and smells that filled the air during this fascinating period in history. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a unique window into the past.
