EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print, titled "Fellah man and woman, 1848" offers a glimpse into the lives of peasant farmers in Egypt during the 19th century. Created by artist Mouilleron, this illustration is part of Emile Prisse d'Avennes' renowned book "The Valley of the Nile". The term "fellah" refers to an agricultural laborer or peasant farmer in Egypt and the Middle East. In this image, we see a male fellah standing tall with his head held high, dressed in traditional attire that reflects his cultural heritage. He carries a basket on his back, symbolizing the hard work and resilience required for farming. Beside him stands a female fellah, her portrait exuding strength despite their impoverished circumstances. The lithograph captures not only their physical appearance but also conveys their daily struggles as they navigate life as farm workers. Poverty is evident in their worn-out clothing and humble surroundings. Yet amidst these challenges, there is an undeniable sense of dignity emanating from both individuals. As she smokes her pipe with determination etched on her face, it becomes clear that these peasants are resilient souls who persevere through adversity. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity found within North Africa while shedding light on the often overlooked contributions made by agricultural workers like them. Through this historical snapshot frozen in time, we gain insight into the lives of ordinary people who played vital roles in shaping societies across continents centuries
