Zeilboten bij de sluis van Ismailia 1870 - 1910

"Zeilboten bij de sluis van Ismailia" is a photograph of a scene in Ismailia, Egypt, likely taken between 1870 and 1910 by C. & G. Zangaki. This albumen print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the tranquility of the canal with sailboats and small wooden boats docked at the canal's edge. The scene is framed by trees lining the banks, providing a glimpse into the natural beauty of the Suez Canal region in the late 19th century. The photograph offers a valuable historical document, highlighting the early development of the Suez Canal and its impact on maritime traffic.
