EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the shores of the Red Sea in 1922, where the soothing sounds of clippers and the lively banter of men fill the air in this open-air barbershop scene. The warm sun casts a golden glow on the Arabian landscape, as a skilled barber expertly trims the hair of a customer, his focused expression reflecting the importance of a well-groomed appearance in this era. Surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Red Sea, the shop's simple yet inviting setup is adorned with a collection of books and various tools, showcasing the barber's dedication to his craft. The diverse group of men, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, engage in animated conversations, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and community. The scene is a testament to the universal bond between men and their barbershops, a tradition that transcends time and culture. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of people in the Middle East during the 1920s. The Arabic script on the wall adds an authentic touch, further emphasizing the rich cultural heritage of the region. As we observe this moment in history, we are reminded of the enduring connections that unite us all, regardless of race, type, or nationality.
