EDITORS COMMENTS
This early photographic postcard, estimated to date back to around 1894, showcases a group of Egyptian orange sellers artfully posing for the camera. The women, dressed in traditional robes and veils, exude an air of elegance and grace as they proudly display their wares. Oranges are arranged meticulously on wooden trays and baskets, with some sellers holding individual fruits in their hands. The intricately carved wooden doorway and doorframe serve as a stunning backdrop, adding to the overall charm of the image. The veiled ladies, their faces partially concealed, gaze intently at the viewer with a hint of curiosity. Their robes, adorned with intricate patterns and colors, add to the rich cultural tapestry of this Northern African scene. The orange sellers' regal posture and the vibrant orange hues create a striking contrast against the muted tones of the wooden doorway and the sandy background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of Egyptian street vendors and the daily life of the people during the late 19th century. The orange sellers' proud display of their merchandise and their poised demeanor reflect the importance of the orange trade in Egypt and the sellers' dedication to their craft. The image stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Egyptian history and the captivating beauty of its people.
