EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-F-001426-0000" transports us back to the late 19th century in Egypt. The image beautifully captures the essence of tradition and cultural diversity as it portrays two young Egyptian women dressed in exquisite traditional clothing. In this mesmerizing portrait, three women are seated gracefully on the ground while another two stand tall beside them. Adorned with vibrant turbans and headdresses that reflect their civilian, military, or religious affiliations, these women exude elegance and pride in their heritage. Adding a touch of musicality to the scene, the two standing women hold tambourines delicately in their hands. These instruments not only serve as accessories but also symbolize the importance of music within this group's culture. The photograph itself was taken between 1880 and 1890 by Lekegian G. & C. , showcasing their keen eye for capturing moments that transcend time. It offers us a glimpse into an era when ethnic traditions were celebrated through fashion choices and distinctive objects like tambourines. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print holds anthropological significance as it sheds light on Arab Berbers' customs and Negroid populations living in Egypt during that period. It serves as a valuable artifact for those interested in studying population dynamics, nationalities, anthropology, ethnography, folklore - providing insights into diverse cultures coexisting harmoniously. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece of history captured by Lekegian G. & C. , which immortalizes these young Egyptian women proudly displaying their ethnic traditional attire amidst a backdrop rich with cultural symbolism.
