EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Women carrying water pots on the banks of the Nile, Cairo, Egypt, 1898" takes us back in time to witness a scene of daily life in late 19th century Egypt. The image showcases a group of women gracefully balancing large water pots atop their heads as they traverse the riverbank at sunset. The silhouette of palm trees against the setting sun adds an enchanting touch to this picturesque moment. The photograph is part of a book called "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), written and illustrated by C. W. Allers in 1898. Allers was known for his artistic depictions that captured various cultures and landscapes around the world. In this particular composition, he beautifully portrays not only the physical strength and resilience of these Egyptian women but also their cultural attire with robes and veils worn during that era. Their presence along the majestic Nile River highlights its significance as a lifeline for communities living nearby. As we gaze upon this timeless image, it serves as a reminder of how people have relied on nature's resources throughout history while showcasing the beauty found within different countries across our planet.
