HISTORY - DE LESSEPS Ferdinand Marie (1805 - 1894) - Autograph letter signed

Item Details

Description

Studied law and held various diplomatic posts in Lisbon, Egypt, Rotterdam, Malaga, Barcelona and Madrid. With the Viceroy of Egypt, Mohammed Said, he undertook the digging of the Suez Canal, which was inaugurated on 17.11.1869. In 1875, he spoke of a canal between the two oceans. At the beginning of 1881, work began in earnest under the direction of the best French engineers, who were able to cope with the technical and climatic problems that led to many deaths. Poor management and a lack of understanding led to the company's bankruptcy on 04.02.1889. He died in France in 1894. The work was taken over by an American company and the canal was inaugurated on 15.08.1914.Autograph letter signed and dated Paris, 13.09.1886 to an ambassador: "ÉVoici ma lettre ˆ Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, insŽrŽs dans les DŽbats de ce matin. Vous voyez que j'ai suivi votre excellent conseilÉ". _ p. In-8.
