EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cairo. Market at dawn with the arrival of the wagons from the land" transports us back to a bustling morning in Egypt's vibrant capital city. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1968, this timeless image captures the essence of Cairo's energetic market scene as it awakens with the first light of day. As we gaze upon this photograph, our senses are immediately awakened by the vivid colors and intricate details that fill every corner of the frame. The market square comes alive with an array of sights, sounds, and aromas that epitomize Cairo's rich cultural tapestry. The focal point is undoubtedly the arrival of wagons from distant lands, laden with goods ready to be traded and sold. These sturdy vehicles stand tall against a backdrop of ancient architecture, symbolizing centuries-old traditions merging seamlessly with modern commerce. The soft glow cast by dawn's early light adds an ethereal quality to this scene, casting long shadows on bustling figures navigating through narrow alleyways lined with stalls overflowing with exotic spices, textiles, and handicrafts. The air is filled not only with merchants' calls but also laughter and animated conversations among locals who have come to start their day at this lively marketplace. Quilici masterfully captures both intimate moments between individuals haggling over prices and wider shots that encompass the entire panorama before him. Through his lens, we witness a microcosm where cultures converge: Egyptians barter alongside tourists eager to immerse themselves in Cairo's unique atmosphere. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Quilici's ability to freeze time within a single frame while inviting viewers into an immersive experience they can almost touch and smell. It encapsulates Cairo’s soulful energy at its most raw form – an enchanting blend of tradition meeting progress amidst one unforgettable sunrise at Egypt’s heartland.
