EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A water seller, Cairo, Egypt, 1936" captures a moment in time that transports us to the bustling streets of early 20th century Egypt. The artist behind this masterpiece is Donald McLeish, while Harold Wheeler edited the book it was featured in. In this image, we see a mother and her child standing on a dusty road as they interact with a local water seller. The woman's face reflects both weariness and determination as she carries out her daily task of buying water for her family. Clutched in her hand is an empty goatskin container waiting to be filled with life-giving liquid. The scene exudes a sense of thirst and longing for relief from the scorching Egyptian sun. It serves as a reminder of the vital role played by these unsung heroes who traversed the streets selling their precious commodity. McLeish's monochrome composition beautifully captures not only the physicality of this trade but also hints at deeper themes such as resilience, motherhood, and community. Through his lens, he immortalizes an indigenous profession that has shaped generations in this vibrant country. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from decades past, we are reminded of our shared humanity across time and space. This photograph stands as a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and connect us all through our common experiences.
