EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Interior of a School, Cairo, 1890" transports us back in time to the bustling classrooms of Egypt's capital city over a century ago. The image showcases an intimate scene filled with rich cultural details and educational fervor. The composition reveals a traditional classroom adorned with intricate lattice screens that filter the soft sunlight pouring through the windows. A diverse group of pupils, both young boys and girls, sit attentively on mats spread across the floor while their teacher stands at the front, engrossed in imparting knowledge. An imam can be seen sitting among them, adding depth to this immersive learning environment. In one corner of the room, a playful cat curiously observes the students' activities as they engage in their studies. This feline presence adds an element of warmth and familiarity to an otherwise formal setting. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights important themes such as education and cultural exchange. It serves as a testament to John Frederick Lewis' ability to capture everyday life with great detail and sensitivity. Displayed proudly at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, this remarkable piece invites viewers from around the world to appreciate its historical significance while celebrating diversity within educational spaces.
