EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Egyptian Tom-Tom" takes us back to the vibrant celebrations of the late 19th century. Captured by an American photographer during the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, this image showcases a mesmerizing show featuring a majestic camel. The scene is set against the backdrop of The Dream City, a portfolio of photographic views from the exposition. The Egyptian Tom-Tom was undoubtedly one of its highlights, drawing crowds with its exotic allure. The bactrian camel stands tall and proud, adorned with intricate decorations that reflect ancient Egyptian motifs. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the rhythmic beats emanating from the tom-tom drum carried by an elegantly dressed performer nearby. The atmosphere is electric as spectators gather around to witness this extraordinary spectacle. The World's Columbian Exposition was a celebration of progress and innovation, showcasing advancements across various fields. However, it also provided visitors with glimpses into different cultures and traditions from around the world. This photograph serves as a testament to that spirit of exploration and curiosity. Through this remarkable piece of photography preserved in private collection today, we are transported back to a moment when camels roamed freely amidst grand exhibitions and when people marveled at both technological wonders and cultural diversity.
