EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a Fellahine family in Egypt during the late 19th century. The Fellahine were the indigenous peasantry of Egypt, making up the vast majority of the population during this era. The family is depicted in front of a traditional mud-brick house, a common architectural feature of the Egyptian countryside. The father, dressed in simple clothing typical of the rural population, sits on a woven mat with his young son, cradling him gently in his arms. The mother, wearing a colorful headscarf and traditional Egyptian garments, holds their baby daughter, who gazes curiously at the camera. A basket filled with fruits and vegetables sits nearby, indicating the family's connection to the land and their agricultural way of life. In the background, a city or town can be seen, with a distinctive landmark or structure rising above the urban landscape. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and ethnic diversity of Egypt during this early historical period. The photograph, taken likely between the 1880s and 1900s, is an ethnographic treasure, providing valuable insights into the daily life and traditions of the Fellahine people during a time of great change and transition in Egyptian history.
