EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the late 19th century in Cairo, Egypt. Titled "Loading cotton onto grain boats, River Nile" it showcases the bustling activity along the riverbank. The image is part of the book "Rund um die Erde" by C. W. Allers, published in 1898. In this snapshot of history, we see men diligently loading bales of cotton onto traditional sailing boats known as feluccas. These vessels were commonly used for transportation on the majestic River Nile during that era. A group of donkeys can also be spotted nearby, indicating their crucial role in assisting with the heavy lifting. The lithograph-style print beautifully portrays both human labor and animal involvement in transporting raw materials like cotton across Egypt's vast geography. It offers a glimpse into an important aspect of Egyptian life at that time – trade and commerce along one of Africa's most iconic waterways. Christian Wilhelm Allers, also known as C. W. Allers or Willy Allers, was responsible for capturing this remarkable moment through his artistic lens. His work often focused on depicting geographical features and cultural scenes from around the world. As we delve into this historical photograph, we are transported back to a time when sailboats gracefully glided along the River Nile while hardworking individuals ensured that goods reached their intended destinations efficiently and effectively.
