EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of childhood in Alexandria, Egypt during the early 20th century. The image features a group of Egyptian children, their curious and playful expressions reflecting the joy and innocence of their youth. The boys, dressed in simple white shirts and shorts, and the girls in colorful dresses, are gathered around an old rod used as a makeshift toy, with one child eagerly trying to balance it on the tip of his shoe. The sun shines down on them, casting long shadows on the dusty ground, and the warm golden light adds a sense of warmth and nostalgia to the scene. Alexandria, the pearl of the Mediterranean, was a bustling and cosmopolitan city even in those days, with a rich cultural heritage that attracted travelers and settlers from all corners of the world. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, there were still pockets of simple pleasures and moments of innocence, as this photograph beautifully illustrates. The children in the image, with their carefree attitude and infectious energy, remind us of the universality of childhood and the enduring power of play. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when life was simpler, and the joys of childhood were found in the most ordinary things. It invites us to pause and reflect on the simple pleasures of life and the enduring power of childhood memories.
