EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt, during the late 19th century. The image captures the grand entrance of Hotel Shepheard, an iconic landmark that stood proudly at Midan Opera. The facade of this magnificent building is a testament to exquisite architecture and attention to detail. Every element, from its ornate decorations to the carefully crafted sections, exudes elegance and sophistication. The large wooden door stands tall and inviting, hinting at the luxurious experience awaiting those who step inside. A terrace adorned with delicate ironwork extends gracefully from the veranda above, offering a picturesque view of Cairo's vibrant cityscape. This outdoor space must have been a popular gathering spot for hotel guests seeking respite or simply enjoying each other's company. In this particular photograph, we see a group portrait featuring several men dressed in traditional attire. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era - flowing robes and intricate headpieces add an air of regality to their presence. These gentlemen embody masculinity and confidence as they pose confidently on the staircase leading up to Hotel Shepheard's entrance. Bonfils (attributed) has masterfully captured not only architectural beauty but also human connection within this single frame. Through his lens, he immortalizes both a physical structure and a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari today, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and how even buildings can tell stories about cultures long past.
