EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the bustling streets of Cairo in 1898, captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases a Turkish coffee trader, skillfully serving hot, aromatic coffee from a traditional Egyptian jug to a curious onlooker. The trader, dressed in the typical attire of the time, exudes a sense of warmth and hospitality as he expertly pours the steaming beverage into a small cup. The scene unfolds in the heart of the Middle Eastern metropolis, with the narrow, winding streets of Cairo serving as the backdrop. Turkish coffee, a rich and flavorful brew, has long been a cherished part of Middle Eastern culture. This traditional beverage, prepared using finely ground coffee beans, water, and sugar, was often served in small, ornate cups. The coffee trade was a common sight on the streets of Cairo during the late 1800s, with traders like this one setting up temporary stalls to sell their wares to passersby. The photograph, taken in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Egyptian society during this period. The intricate design of the coffee container and the trader's attentiveness to his customer underscore the importance of hospitality and the art of coffee-making in Egyptian culture. This photograph serves as a beautiful souvenir of a time long past, transporting us back to the vibrant and bustling streets of Cairo in the late 19th century.
