EDITORS COMMENTS
(1928) In this humorous postcard image from 1928, we find ourselves in the heart of Egypt, where the desert sun beats down on a group of bewildered European tourists. Surrounded by a vast horde of eager and persistent Egyptians, these travelers appear to have stumbled into a scene straight out of a biblical tale. The Egyptians, with their brightly colored robes and donkeys, are aggressively dividing the spoils, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to 'help' these tourists in their own unique way. The tourists, looking both amused and exasperated, are cornered and outnumbered, as they attempt to navigate the bustling marketplace. The caption on the postcard reads, "Hassled by the Locals," and it's clear that these Europeans have endured quite the hardships during their travels through North Africa. But despite the chaos and confusion, there's a sense of encouragement in the air. After all, isn't this what travel is all about - immersing oneself in new cultures and experiences, even if it means being robbed of every last sou? This humorous postcard serves as a reminder that travel, while filled with adventure and discovery, can also be a challenging and unpredictable journey. But with a sense of humor and a willingness to embrace the unexpected, even the most trying of situations can become a cherished memory.
