EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Le nilometer de L'ile Roda; Le Nord-Est Africain," was published in the renowned French geography magazine "Grande Geographie Illustree" in 1914. The image portrays the Nilometer on Roda Island in Cairo, Egypt, a crucial landmark in the Nile Valley. The Nilometer was an ancient Egyptian structure used to measure the level of the Nile River floodwaters, which were essential for agriculture and the prosperity of the civilization. The photograph captures the timeless beauty of this historic site, with the Nilometer standing proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city of Cairo. The island, located in the heart of the River Nile, is dotted with other buildings and structures, adding to the rich tapestry of urban Egypt. The Nile River, the lifeline of Egypt, flows majestically in the foreground, reflecting the tranquility and power of this ancient waterway. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt's history and its unique blend of the ancient and the modern. The image, created in the early 20th century during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to an age of exploration and discovery. The photographer, unknown to us, has captured an iconic moment in the history of Egypt and the Nile Valley, leaving us in awe of the beauty and significance of this remarkable location. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of African, Egyptian, or geographical imagery, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
