Bare Feet Fellah Sack Stick Walk Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century photograph captures the essence of a Fellah, or Egyptian farm worker, as he goes about his daily labor in traditional attire. The man, dressed in a simple white garment, wears a red fez on his head and carries a large sack slung over one shoulder. In his other hand, he holds a long stick, which he uses to propel himself forward as he walks barefoot over the arid, sun-scorched earth. The Middle East, and Egypt in particular, has long been known for its agricultural heritage, with the Nile River providing the life-giving water necessary for crops to thrive. The Fellah played a crucial role in this agrarian society, tending to the land and harvesting the crops that sustained not only his own family but also the wider community. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rhythm of the land and the seasons dictated the pace of life. The hand-coloured print adds an extra layer of authenticity, bringing the scene to life and capturing the essence of a bygone era.
