EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Customary Greeting in Palestine, 1907" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a beautiful moment of cultural exchange. The image showcases two Palestinian men engaging in a traditional greeting with the phrase "Keif Halaka" meaning "How are you?". Their polite and formal mannerisms reflect the deep-rooted customs and etiquette of their time. Set against a backdrop of palm trees and an elegant minaret, this vintage card from the Greetings of the World series produced by Hignett Bros. Imperial Tobacco Company exudes charm and nostalgia. The men's attire, featuring robes and turbans, adds to the authenticity and richness of their cultural heritage. The photograph not only captures a simple act of greeting but also serves as a reminder of the importance placed on respect and tradition in Palestinian society during that period. It is evident that these men embrace their customs with pride as they extend warm greetings to one another. Preserved within this image is more than just a historical moment; it represents an enduring connection between people through time. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to early 20th-century Palestine where traditions were honored, manners were valued, and genuine human connections were made through heartfelt greetings like Keif Halaka.
