EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A shaduf on the Nile, Egypt, c1890" transports us back to a bygone era in Ancient Egypt. The artist behind this remarkable piece is G Lekegian, who beautifully captures the essence of rural life along the majestic River Nile. In the foreground of the image stands a man operating a shaduf, an ingenious irrigation tool developed centuries ago in this very land. With its long wooden arm and counterweight system, the shaduf allows for efficient water supply to nearby fields and crops. This scene not only showcases ancient technology but also highlights mankind's ability to harness nature's resources for sustenance. The riverbank teems with activity as other men can be seen going about their daily tasks against the backdrop of rustic Egyptian countryside. Their presence adds depth and context to this snapshot of 19th-century rural life in Egypt. G Lekegian's use of monochrome enhances both the timeless quality and geographical features present in this photograph. It serves as a visual reminder that despite modern advancements, some traditions endure through time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from The Print Collector collection, we are transported into an era where simplicity met ingenuity on the banks of one of history's most iconic rivers – The Nile.
