EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt, circa 1880. In the center of the frame stands an Arab female singer, her presence commanding attention amidst a sea of people. Dressed in traditional attire, she embodies elegance and grace with every fiber of her being. Her costume is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that permeates through every corner of this ancient city. Adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, it reflects both her individual style and the larger tapestry of Egyptian fashion during that era. A veil delicately covers parts of her face while an ornate headdress crowns her head, adding an air of mystery to her persona. The singer's hairdo is meticulously styled, showcasing not only her personal flair but also the prevailing trends at that time. Her confident gaze suggests a deep connection with music - perhaps she holds within herself stories untold yet expressed through melodious tunes. As we delve into this photograph further, we are reminded of the diverse population that resided in Cairo during this period. The image captures glimpses of black Africans or negroid populations who were part and parcel of Egypt's social fabric. Henri Bechard skillfully captured this moment frozen in time; his lens immortalizing a talented musical performer against the backdrop of one Africa's most iconic cities. This portrait serves as a reminder not only for those interested in anthropology or ethnography but for all individuals seeking to appreciate different cultures across space and time.
