EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1920s in Port Said, Egypt. The image shows a group of boys and girls, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, gathered outside their modest, timber-built homes. Their expressions are filled with curiosity and excitement as they engage in conversation or play games, oblivious to the world beyond their community. The rickety houses, with their peeling paint and worn-out wooden planks, offer a stark contrast to the vibrant energy of the children. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, where life's pleasures were found in the company of friends and the simple joys of childhood. Port Said, located in the northeastern part of Egypt, was a bustling port city during the 1920s, attracting various ethnic groups from around the world. This diverse population is reflected in the children in the photograph, showcasing the racial and cultural types that made up the community. As we look at this image, we are reminded of the universal experiences of childhood and the enduring spirit of communities that have weathered the test of time. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Egypt and the Middle East during the 1920s.
