EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1898. The image showcases the ingenuity of the Fellaheen people as they skillfully lift water from the mighty River Nile for irrigation using a traditional shadouf. The scene depicts a group of men working together, their muscular frames demonstrating their physical strength and resilience. The technology employed here is both simple yet effective, showcasing how these hardworking farmers harnessed the power of counterpoise lift to collect water for their agricultural needs. Each man operates a wooden lever attached to a long pole with a bucket at one end. With synchronized movements, they dip the buckets into the river and then raise them high above their heads before pouring out the precious liquid onto nearby fields. Christian Wilhelm Allers beautifully captured this moment in his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), providing readers with an intimate glimpse into Egyptian rural life during that era. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic representation but also acts as an important historical document, preserving this ancient method of irrigation for future generations. As we admire this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how human innovation has shaped our relationship with nature throughout centuries. It reminds us of our deep connection to land and water resources while highlighting the resourcefulness and dedication of those who work tirelessly on farms around the world.
