EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-A-004677-0002" by Beato Antonio from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the vibrant streets of Cairo during the late 19th century. The image captures a fascinating scene in front of the Opera House, once located in the European quarter of Azbakiyyah. A group of Egyptian guards, dressed impeccably in their traditional uniforms, stand proudly alongside a few men donning civilian clothes. Their poses exude confidence and strength as they gather before this magnificent architectural masterpiece. The Opera House itself stands tall and majestic behind them, its grandeur reflecting both European influence and local craftsmanship. The date on the photograph suggests that it was taken around 1870-1880, while the artwork depicted on it dates back even further to 1864-1869. This intriguing combination allows us to glimpse into different eras within a single frame. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice various elements that add depth and character to the composition. A street lamp illuminates the scene with its warm glow while nearby furnishings for civic spaces provide a sense of urban life bustling around these distinguished figures. This print not only showcases architecture and fashion but also offers insights into anthropology and ethnography. It hints at diverse populations such as Arab Berbers and Negroid communities coexisting harmoniously within Egypt's rich cultural tapestry. Beato Antonio's skillful capture freezes this moment in time forever – an exquisite blend of history, artistry, tradition, and human presence against an enchanting backdrop. As viewers today admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we can't help but feel connected to those who walked these same streets over a century ago.
