EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in Cairo, Egypt, in 1898. The image showcases a woman and child standing near the iconic Kobri el Gezira Bridge. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this lithograph beautifully illustrates the rich cultural heritage of Africa. The woman, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire with a veil covering her face, exudes grace and mystery. Her veiled presence adds an air of intrigue to the scene, inviting viewers to ponder about her story and experiences. Standing beside her is a young child, perhaps her son or daughter, representing innocence amidst the bustling cityscape. In the background, we see donkeys leisurely strolling along the street—a common sight during that era—adding an element of authenticity to this snapshot of daily life in Cairo. The architectural marvels of the bridge serve as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess even at that time. Christian Wilhelm Allers' artistic talent shines through this lithograph as he masterfully captures not only physical details but also emotions and cultural nuances. This print transports us back to 19th-century North Africa while reminding us of our shared humanity across continents. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with distant cultures and eras gone by.
