The unknown photographer beautifully portrays the interior of this small workshop, filled with tools and materials that tell stories of countless shoes repaired and crafted over the years. The attention to detail is remarkable; you can almost feel the history embedded within every corner of this humble space. Intriguingly, it offers us a glimpse into Arab civilization during the mid-20th century.
