EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting lanes of the Copt Quarter in Cairo, circa 1890. The creator remains unknown, but their lens has beautifully captured a slice of history frozen in time. Coptic Cairo, once a Christian stronghold until the Islamic era, reveals its architectural wonders through this image. The buildings that grace this lane were predominantly constructed after Egypt's Muslim conquest in the 7th century. As we delve into "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier, we are transported to an era where narrow alleyways like these held great significance. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to every detail - from wooden balconies overlooking the street below to background figures going about their day. This photograph not only showcases the rich heritage of medieval Cairo but also serves as a testament to human resilience throughout history. It reminds us that cities evolve over time while still preserving fragments of their past glory. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, our imagination runs wild with stories untold and lives lived within these ancient walls. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a portal into another world – one filled with literature, culture, and tales waiting to be discovered. Let this photo transport you back in time as you explore the intricate architecture and vibrant atmosphere of old Coptic Cairo through the lens of an unknown artist who left behind an enduring legacy for generations to come.
