EDITORS COMMENTS
As-salamu alaykum," or "Peace be upon you," is a revered Arabic greeting used by Muslims around the world. In this evocative photograph from the early 1910s, a woman dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, including a veil and an Egyptian Brass Arousa el Burka, warmly greets a man as he squeezes through a small opening on a decorative window screen. The woman cradles a small child on her back, her face expressing a gentle and welcoming smile. The man, dressed in simple clothing, appears to be in a hurry, his focus on reaching the other side of the screen. The intricately designed wooden window screen, with its delicate patterns and ornate details, serves as a striking backdrop to the scene. The warm, muted colors of the image, from the rich hues of the woman's veil and the man's clothing to the earthy tones of the window screen and the sandy terrain beyond, transport us to a bygone era in Egyptian history. The image captures a moment of connection and warmth between two individuals, a testament to the enduring tradition of the As-salamu alaykum greeting in Islamic and North African cultures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Egyptians in the early 20th century, a time of cultural and historical significance in the region. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that continue to shape the lives of Muslims around the world today.
