EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting remnants of Palace Zizinia in 1882, a once majestic architectural marvel located in Alexandria, Egypt. Built by Etienne Zizinia, a prosperous Greek Shipping magnate and one of the earliest European settlers in Alexandria, this palace stood as a testament to opulence and grandeur. However, the image tells a different story - that of destruction and devastation caused by the British Mediterranean Fleet during the infamous Bombardment of Alexandria in 1882. The Anglo-Egyptian War had taken its toll on this magnificent structure, reducing it to rubble. The significance of Palace Zizinia extends beyond its physical beauty; it symbolizes an era when cultural exchange between Europe and Egypt flourished. Its namesake continues to be honored today as large areas in Alexandria bear his name. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of the consequences brought upon by conflict and war. It is a testament to both human resilience and fragility – showcasing how even structures built with strength can succumb to external forces. Preserved within this print is not only an architectural relic but also a historical artifact capturing an important moment in time. Through photography's lens, we are transported back to witness firsthand the aftermath of destruction that forever changed this North African cityscape.
