EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of two Egyptian peasants, next to their donkeys" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. Captured by Lekegian, G. & C. , this image offers a glimpse into the lives of rural Egyptians during that era. The photograph showcases two hardworking individuals standing proudly beside their trusty donkeys. These peasants exude resilience and strength as they pose for the camera, embodying the essence of farming and country life. Their weathered faces tell tales of years spent toiling under the scorching sun, cultivating the land with unwavering determination. Dressed in traditional ethnic attire, these subjects provide an insight into Egyptian fashion and clothing from that period. The intricate details of their costumes highlight cultural nuances and reflect their deep-rooted heritage. Transportation plays a significant role in this scene as well - both humans are seen mounted on their loyal donkeys while carrying baskets filled with tools or produce. This depiction emphasizes not only the reliance on animals for transportation but also highlights other types of transportation available at that time. Moreover, this photograph serves as a valuable anthropological artifact capturing different populations and nationalities within Egypt during this period. It sheds light on Arab Berbers and Negroid populations coexisting harmoniously amidst vast agricultural landscapes. Lekegian's masterful composition transports us back to a bygone era when life was simpler yet undoubtedly challenging. Through his lens, we witness not just a portrait but an entire narrative encompassing work ethics, cultural identity, and human resilience against all odds.
