EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print of Cairo's Citadel takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century Egypt. The image, captured by an Egyptian photographer, showcases the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic landmark. The Citadel, with its imposing walls and majestic architecture, stands as a testament to the rich history and culture of Egypt. It served as a fortress for centuries, protecting the city from invaders while also housing important government buildings and mosques. In this photograph, we are transported to a different era where vibrant colours bring life to every detail. The warm hues highlight the intricate designs on the buildings' facades and draw attention to the bustling activity below. As we gaze at this snapshot from over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then. Yet amidst all the transformations that Cairo has undergone throughout history, one thing remains constant – its ability to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. This print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a valuable piece of historical documentation. It allows us to glimpse into daily life in Cairo during an era when photography was still in its infancy. With each glance at this remarkable image, we are reminded of Egypt's enduring allure and its status as one of Africa's most enchanting destinations.
