EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage photograph captures a moment in the daily life of Fellahin women and their children in Egypt during the late 19th century. The Fellahin, also known as fellah or peasant farmers, were the indigenous agricultural workers who formed the majority of the Egyptian population during this era. Dressed in traditional clothing, these women are shown working in the fields, their faces expressing a mix of determination and weariness. Accompanying them are their young children, who are also dressed in simple, ethnic garments. The scene is reminiscent of the early agricultural era, with the women's clothing covering most of their bodies, reflecting the conservative customs of the time. The children, clad in simple linen garments, play and explore their surroundings, oblivious to the hard labor taking place nearby. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Fellahin people during the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s, providing a historical record of a culture that has long since been transformed by the passage of time. The image is a testament to the resilience and strength of the indigenous population, who played a vital role in Egypt's agricultural history. This archival photograph is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the ethnographic and cultural history of Egypt during the Victorian era.
