EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a vibrant scene of a parade in Fagalla, near Cairo, Egypt. The year is approximately 1880, and the image showcases a bustling urban landscape filled with life and energy. In the foreground of the photograph stands an impressive horse, its majestic presence commanding attention. This magnificent creature represents not only strength but also serves as a symbol of transportation during that era. Surrounding it are terrestrial mammals - perhaps other horses or donkeys - adding to the liveliness of this snapshot. The architecture in Fagalla is on full display as well; intricate structures line both sides of the road where the parade takes place. These buildings reflect Egyptian design elements and provide an intriguing backdrop for this historical moment frozen in time. As our eyes wander beyond the main subjects, we notice lush vegetation along riverbanks nearby. Trees sway gently in what appears to be a pleasant breeze coming off either a lake or sea situated just out of frame. It's fascinating to imagine how these natural elements must have contrasted with the bustling cityscape. A cart or wheelbarrow can be seen further down the road, hinting at various methods of transportation available during that period. This diverse range speaks volumes about society's reliance on different modes for trade and daily activities. Overall, this Alinari print captures not only a group portrait but also provides valuable insights into transportation systems, urban structures, architecture styles prevalent at that time while showcasing glimpses of nature's beauty within an ever-evolving city like Cairo.
