EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a slice of life in Cairo, Egypt during the mid to late 19th century. The image showcases three women, each with their own unique presence and purpose. Two of them gracefully balance urns on their heads, showcasing the incredible strength and skill required for such a task. Their barefoot stance suggests familiarity with this daily routine as they navigate through an exterior doorway. In contrast, another woman stands tall with a child securely strapped to her back. She exudes both strength and tenderness as she carries out her maternal duties amidst the bustling streets of Cairo. Her traditional clothing reflects the cultural norms of that era, possibly including elements such as abaya or hijab. Photographed by Tancrede R. Dumas, this sepia-toned portrait offers us a glimpse into North African life at the turn of the century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse traditions that have shaped Cairo's vibrant culture.
