EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Girls at Philae, Egypt, 1898" transports us back to the enchanting Island of Philae in the late 19th century. The image, created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), offers a glimpse into the lives of two young Egyptian girls. Dressed in traditional North African attire, these girls exude grace and innocence. Their full-length veils and hijabs beautifully frame their faces while their bare feet connect them to the land they call home. Despite being captured in stillness, there is an air of movement as one girl holds a fly whisk - a symbol of elegance and refinement. The lithograph showcases Allers' exceptional talent for both writing and illustration. Through this artwork, he not only captures the beauty of these girls but also highlights the rich cultural heritage that permeates every corner of Egypt. As we admire this historical portrait, it serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to preserving our past. It allows us to travel through time and immerse ourselves in different cultures without leaving our present surroundings. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this remarkable piece from Christian Wilhelm Allers' collection. This photograph stands as a testament to his dedication in documenting diverse societies around the world with authenticity and respect.
