EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment of quiet respite in the bustling streets of Egypt during the 1910s. Three young shoeblacks, dressed in simple white shirts and trousers, sit at ease on the pavement, their brushes and shining shoes at the ready. The boys, with their innocent and charming expressions, seem to be enjoying a brief moment away from their work, perhaps sharing a story or a joke. The scene is quintessentially North African, with the warm, sun-soaked streets and the vibrant colors of the buildings providing a beautiful backdrop. The boys' polished shoes, gleaming in the sunlight, reflect the dedication and hard work that goes into their craft. Despite the informal setting, there is a sense of order and discipline in the way the boys are arranged, with the eldest boy in the center, his arms resting on his knees, and the other two sitting neatly to the side. The gentle touch of one boy on another's shoulder adds a sentimental touch to the image, reminding us of the strong bonds that can form between children and friends. This photograph is a charming reminder of a simpler time, when life moved at a slower pace and moments of connection and relaxation could be found even in the most unexpected places. It is a postcard from the past, inviting us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and humanity of everyday life in Egypt during the early 20th century.
