The Occupation of Egypt: A Humorous Take on Ancient Tourism! This charming postcard, titled "The Occupation of Egypt," transports us back to the early 1900s and the bustling scene of Egyptian tourism. The image captures two Egyptian men in traditional attire, providing support and assistance to a rotund woman as she takes a memorable donkey ride towards the majestic Pyramids of Giza. The men, dressed in flowing robes and turbaned heads, are seen holding the woman's parasol and helmet to shield her from the North African sun. The woman, with her ample figure, is a sight to behold as she clings to the donkey, her pith helmet perched precariously on her head. Her expression is one of determination and excitement, while the men's faces reveal a mix of amusement and exhaustion. The Pyramids, standing proudly in the background, serve as a testament to the rich history and ancient wonders that drew tourists from all corners of the world. However, the inset scene reveals a humorous twist to the story. As the woman waddles off, leaving the donkey behind, the poor animal appears near expired, with its legs wobbling and its expression one of relief. This amusing postcard not only captures the essence of early 20th-century tourism but also adds a touch of humor to the historical narrative. This delightful postcard, with its intriguing title and playful image, is a reminder of the lighter side of history and the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient treasures.
