This print takes us back to Port Said, Egypt in the early 1920s. It showcases the world's oldest traditional tramway, a true testament to the rich history of this vibrant city. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an extraordinary sight - horses gracefully pulling the tram carriages without any harnesses. The image captures a moment where tradition meets modernity. The bustling street scene is filled with shops and people going about their daily lives, while these majestic horses effortlessly navigate through it all. Their connection to the trams seems almost magical as they are expertly roped up, creating a seamless bond between animal and machine. Alfieri's monochrome masterpiece not only transports us to another era but also highlights the unique charm of horse-drawn transportation during that period. The fashion of the 1920s can be glimpsed through the attire of pedestrians strolling along this historic route. As we admire this photograph, we cannot help but marvel at how far transportation has come since then. Yet, it serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, there is beauty in preserving traditions and honoring our past. This remarkable piece from TopFoto allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments and the timeless allure of Port Said's oldest tramway system.
