EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th century photograph captures a moment in time as Egyptian women make their way through the bustling streets of Cairo aboard a donkey cart. Dressed in traditional attire, the women sit gracefully atop the cart, their faces expressing a sense of calm and composure amidst the chaos of the city. In the background, the architectural landscape of Cairo unfolds, with intricately designed buildings and structures lining the streets. The image offers a glimpse into the ethnographic and historical significance of this early era in Egypt's rich cultural history. The photograph, likely taken by a traveller during the 1880s, 1890s, or early 1900s, serves as an important ethnographic record of daily life in Egypt during this time. The donkey cart, a common mode of transportation in the late 19th century, adds to the authenticity of the scene, providing a tangible connection to the past. As a souvenir or addition to an album or travel journal, this photograph would have been highly valued by those who had the means to explore the world and document their experiences. Today, it remains a valuable historical artifact, offering a window into the past and shedding light on the traditions and customs of a time long gone.
