EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of Shepheards Hotel in Cairo, 1908. The balcony scene comes alive as we witness a British couple immersed in the timeless tale of love and tragedy. The architectural features of Shepheards Hotel add an exotic charm to this historic moment. The elegant balcony with its intricate design frames the scene beautifully, while the terrace below provides a sense of grandeur. Dressed in their early 20th-century attire, the couple is engrossed in their reading, completely absorbed by Shakespeare's words. The lady sits gracefully on a chair, her dress reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Her companion stands beside her, his suit exuding sophistication and refinement. Their presence transports us to another time and place where literature intertwines with reality. As they delve into this literary masterpiece amidst North African surroundings, it becomes evident how art transcends borders and cultures. This image captures not only a specific moment but also represents a fusion between British literature and Egyptian architecture. Through Lance Thackeray's lens, we are invited to appreciate both history and beauty simultaneously. This photograph from "The Light Side of Egypt" collection serves as a testament to human fascination with storytelling across continents - reminding us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, Romeo and Juliet continues to captivate hearts around the world.
