EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-004104-0000" captures a mesmerizing scene from Egypt in the late 19th or early 20th century. In this portrait, we see two small Egyptian water boys dressed in traditional attire, offering us a glimpse into their fascinating culture. The focal point of the image is a young boy seated on the back of a donkey specially equipped for transporting amphoras. This mode of transportation was crucial during that era when water vendors would deliver precious water to households and businesses. The donkey stands patiently as its rider takes his position with confidence and purpose. Standing proudly beside them is another young boy, also dressed in traditional clothing. His presence adds depth to the composition, highlighting the camaraderie between these two individuals who share similar responsibilities as water vendors. The photograph beautifully showcases not only these remarkable individuals but also provides insights into various aspects of life at that time. From the intricate details of their costumes to the expressions on their faces, every element tells a story about their work and vocation within Egyptian society. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how different cultures have evolved over centuries while retaining some timeless traditions. It sparks our curiosity about Arab Berbers and Negroid populations' unique customs and nationalities prevalent during that period. Although taken by an unidentified author from Alinari, this print transports us back in time through its powerful imagery alone. Its historical significance lies not just in documenting daily life but also shedding light on anthropology, ethnography, folklore - providing invaluable glimpses into human existence itself.
