EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1898 by Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the bustling Coppersmith's Workshop in Khan-el-Khalil, Egypt. Located in the heart of the historic Khan-el-Khalil bazaar, this workshop was a hub of activity during the 1890s. The image showcases the skill and craftsmanship of the local coppersmiths as they work diligently at their forges, shaping and molding various copperware. The intricate designs etched into the copper pots and pans are a testament to the artistry and tradition that has been passed down through generations. The workshop is filled with the warm glow of the forge, casting an orange hue over the scene. The smoke from the fires curls up towards the ceiling, creating an atmospheric backdrop for the workers. The coppersmiths are focused on their tasks, their faces etched with concentration as they manipulate the hot metal. The workshop is also a popular destination for tourists and travelers, who come to purchase souvenirs and take in the sights and sounds of the bustling bazaar. The coppersmiths, dressed in traditional Arab garb, are seen interacting with customers, offering demonstrations of their craft, and haggling over prices. This photograph is a fascinating window into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the coppersmiths in Khan-el-Khalil during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artisanal traditions that have long been a part of Egyptian history.
