EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling square of the station in Cairo, Egypt. Captured around 1880, it offers a glimpse into the vibrant urban life of this historical city. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly a donkey, standing proudly amidst a crowd of terrestrial mammals and vertebrates. These animals were an integral part of transportation during that era, providing means for locals to navigate through the busy streets. The architecture surrounding the square showcases traditional structures that exude charm and character. The intricate details on these buildings are truly remarkable and speak volumes about the rich history and culture embedded within them. Intriguingly, individuals dressed in traditional clothing can be seen scattered throughout the scene. Their fashion choices reflect both their ethnic heritage and prevailing trends at that time. It's fascinating to observe how style has evolved over centuries. As we shift our focus towards the landscape with its winding road, we witness scenes depicting everyday life unfolding before our eyes. People going about their daily routines by land form a vivid street scene full of action and energy. Amidst all this commotion stands a majestic tree surrounded by lush vegetation - nature's oasis amidst an urban jungle. Its presence adds tranquility to an otherwise bustling atmosphere. This extraordinary photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Cairo's past while appreciating its cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, certain elements like transportation methods may evolve or disappear altogether; cities continue to thrive with their unique blend of tradition and progress.
