EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a proud elderly man holding a beautifully patterned flag. The photograph, titled "Man with flag, Nagada, Egypt, 1898" was created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth). The image transports us to Nagada, a location in Egypt during the late 19th century. The man's dignified presence and the intricate design of the flag evoke a sense of cultural richness and heritage. His weathered face tells stories of wisdom and resilience that have been passed down through generations. This portrait not only highlights an individual but also represents an entire continent. It serves as a reminder of Africa's diverse people and their contributions to history and art. The ancient Egyptian influence is evident in both the subject's appearance and the flag itself. Christian Wilhelm Allers' lithograph perfectly captures this momentous encounter between photographer and subject. Through his lens, he immortalizes this North African elder who proudly holds his country's banner high. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from "Rund um die Erde" we are transported back to a different era—a testament to how photography can bridge gaps between centuries while preserving cultures for future generations to appreciate.
