EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1902, captures a moment in the bustling streets of Port Said, Egypt. At the heart of the scene is an itinerant knife grinder, intently focused on his work. He grinds away at a large stone wheel, his foot treadling a pedal to power the grinding mechanism. The sharpener's intense concentration is mirrored in the curious gaze of a young boy, who has poked his head out of a small window to peer at the scene below. The boy's fascination is palpable as he watches the knife grinder at work, the repetitive motion of the grinding process seemingly mesmerizing. The historical image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such itinerant trades were a common sight on the streets of Egyptian ports. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape the vibrant and diverse communities of Egypt.
