EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a moment in time aboard the Hatasoo steamboat in Egypt, 1898. The portrait depicts a distinguished man wearing an intricately wrapped turban, exuding an air of elegance and mystery. As he stands on the deck of the passenger paddle steamer, gliding along the majestic River Nile, one can't help but be transported to another era. The image is part of "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), a book written and illustrated by Christian Wilhelm Allers. Allers was known for his ability to capture cultural nuances through his artwork, and this piece is no exception. The man's attire reflects traditional Egyptian headdress, providing insight into North African fashion during the 19th century. The lithograph not only showcases transportation on water but also offers a glimpse into life in Egypt at that time. It serves as a visual reminder of how travel can bridge continents and cultures while highlighting the beauty found within each country. With its meticulous detail and striking composition, this print transports viewers back to a bygone era when steamboats ruled riverways and exploration was at its peak. It reminds us of our shared human history while celebrating individuality through portraiture.
