EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by M. Schonberg, titled "Fellaheen bringing their produce to a shoonah or government warehouse" offers a glimpse into the bustling life of 19th-century Egypt. The scene depicts hardworking Fellaheen farmers arriving at a traditional shoonah or government warehouse with their bountiful harvest in tow. As they navigate through dusty streets, donkeys laden with sacks of produce trudge alongside them. The image not only showcases the agricultural prowess of these resilient people but also sheds light on the taxation system prevalent during that era. These diligent farmers bring their goods to the warehouse as payment for taxes imposed upon them by the ruling authorities. Amidst this vibrant tableau, one can observe an array of fashions and clothing styles worn by both men and women. Traditional garments reflect the cultural heritage of Egypt while hinting at influences from neighboring regions. Published in Thomas Archer's historical account, "The War in Egypt and the Soudan" this engraving serves as a visual testament to an episode in British Empire history. It captures not just a moment frozen in time but also evokes curiosity about how these warehouses functioned and what role they played within Egyptian society. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this remarkable artwork today – an emblematic representation of industriousness, tradition, and taxation practices intertwined within 19th-century Egyptian culture.
