EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Egypt as it is, Street Sketches in Alexandria" takes us back to the bustling streets of Alexandria in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Charles Auguste Loye, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and diverse culture of Egypt during that time. In this snapshot of daily life, we are introduced to a myriad of characters who make up the fabric of this enchanting city. Arab shoeblacks diligently shine shoes while street coffee sellers offer their aromatic brews to passersby. Porters carry heavy loads on their backs, showcasing their strength and resilience. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures various street scenes with precision and authenticity. A water carrier gracefully balances his vessel on his head while another vendor sells refreshing water from large containers strapped around his waist. Amongst the crowd, we spot a night watchman keeping an eye on the safety of all those wandering through these lively streets. A liquorice water seller tempts customers with his unique concoction while nearby traders sell sweetmeats that delight both locals and visitors alike. Dressed in traditional attire, these individuals bring color and vibrancy to every corner they occupy. Through Loye's skilled handiwork, we are transported back in time to experience the rich tapestry that was Alexandria at its peak. This remarkable engraving serves as a testament not only to Loye's talent but also as a window into Egypt's cultural heritage during this era.
