EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Crown Princess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin of Germany is seen leaving the German Church at Assouan (now Aswan), Egypt, in the year 1911. Accompanying her is Friedfrau von Tiel-Winkler, a respected member of the royal suite. The tranquil scene at the church, situated on the banks of the Nile River, is a testament to the allure and popularity of Egypt as a tourist destination during this era. The background of the image reveals an intriguing detail - a sign advertising a shop that develops Kodak film. This signpost underscores the burgeoning tourist industry in Egypt, with travelers from all corners of the globe eager to capture their memories on film and bring them back home. Crown Princess Cecilie, dressed in an elegant outfit befitting her royal status, appears to be in deep conversation with Friedfrau von Tiel-Winkler as they make their way out of the church. The serene expression on their faces and the picturesque setting of the church, with its tall, palm trees and the vast expanse of the Nile River in the background, create a captivating tableau of a bygone era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and Egypt was a must-visit destination for the European elite. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that has shaped the world we live in today.
