EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Cairo, Chadoufs takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century Egypt. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical view, showcasing the rich culture and sights of Cairo. Chadoufs, traditional water-lifting devices used by Egyptians, stand tall against the backdrop of a busy cityscape. These structures were essential for irrigation purposes in a land where water was scarce. The photograph captures the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Egyptian people as they harnessed their environment to meet their needs. The image is part of a private collection and was likely taken during the late 19th century with color added later in the early 20th century. It serves as an illustration for a souvenir brochure on Egypt published by The Cairo Postcard Trust around 1905. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era when Africa's diverse cultures thrived amidst its vast landscapes. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Central Africa's unique charm while reminding us of North Africa's distinct character. Through the lens of an Egyptian photographer from long ago, we can appreciate not only his skill but also his ability to capture moments that transcend time itself. This remarkable piece allows us to connect with our past and marvel at how far we have come since then.
