EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Egypt in the late 19th century. The focal point of the image is a magnificent water wheel, standing tall against the rustic backdrop of rural life. Its wooden structure, powered by oxen, symbolizes the ingenious technology employed for irrigation along the Nile River. Surrounding this impressive feat of engineering are lush palm trees and vibrant plants that thrive under its constant supply of water. A group of men can be seen tending to their daily tasks nearby, benefiting from this essential resource provided by the wheel. Their presence adds a human element to this snapshot of ancient Egyptian life. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this photograph, transporting us to a different era where simplicity and reliance on nature were paramount. As we gaze upon this lantern slide captured by Newton & Co. , we cannot help but marvel at how such an intricate system was created over a century ago. This remarkable print serves as a reminder not only of Egypt's rich geographical features but also highlights mankind's ability to adapt and harness natural resources for survival. It encapsulates both man's ingenuity and his harmonious relationship with nature in one captivating frame.
