Cairo, Egypt - British Father and daughter - Street snap
Cairo, Egypt - British Father and daughter - candid street snap. Note the use of classic western brand names for the local boutiques! I think it somewhat unlikely these were licensed foreign branches of Marks and Spencer and Woolworths (or that Harry Lauder had a say in his name been appropriated for a carpet shop!). Date: 1930s

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph from the 1930s, the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt, serve as the backdrop for an intimate father-daughter moment. The young girl, dressed in a pretty floral dress and holding a small parasol, looks up at her father with a curious expression as they pause in front of a row of shops. The father, wearing a crisp white shirt, trousers, and a fedora, seems to be deep in thought or perhaps engaged in a conversation with the girl. The shops behind them, adorned with intricate Arabic script and colorful signs, bear the names of familiar Western brands: "Marks and Spencer" and "Woolworths." It is unlikely that these were licensed foreign branches of the companies, as the names have been appropriated in a creative way for the local boutiques. Another shop, labeled "Harry Lauder's Carpet Shop," adds an unexpected twist to the scene, referencing the Scottish entertainer Harry Lauder, who was popular during this era. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of travel and discovery during the 1930s, as well as the blend of cultures and influences that characterized this period. The father and daughter's casual interaction amidst the exotic surroundings serves as a reminder of the human connections that can be forged even in the most unexpected places. This candid street snap offers a glimpse into the past, inviting viewers to imagine the stories and memories that lie behind the image.
