Lesson Hour at Bulak, Egypt (1898): A Moment in Time Captured in an 1890s Egyptian Classroom This photograph, titled 'Lesson Hour at Bulak, Egypt' and taken in 1898, offers a glimpse into the educational landscape of the late 19th century in Egypt. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer, portrays a dedicated teacher instructing a group of attentive boys on the ground in the heart of Bulak, a suburb of Cairo. The boys, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, sit cross-legged on the sandy ground, their eyes focused intently on their teacher. The teacher, a man with a stern yet compassionate expression, holds a large, rolled-up paper in one hand and gestures towards it with the other, guiding the boys through their lesson. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The photograph, now a cherished souvenir, offers a poignant reminder of the importance of education, even in the most humble of settings. The boys, eager to learn, sit attentively, absorbing every word spoken by their teacher. The image also highlights the cultural richness and diversity of Egypt during the late 1800s, a time when the Arab world was undergoing significant social and political changes. This photograph, a testament to the enduring power of education, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images from the Middle East. It invites us to reflect on the universal human desire for knowledge and the role of teachers in shaping the minds of future generations.
