Convivial Enjoying Expected House Hold Meal Needless Regional Shoes Variations 1895


EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "An Egyptian Party," taken in 1895, captures a moment of camaraderie and conviviality among four Egyptian men as they gather for a meal in a regional household. The scene is set in a simple, yet warm and inviting environment, with the men seated on low cushions around a low table laden with an array of traditional Egyptian dishes. The men, dressed in traditional Egyptian garb, engage in animated conversation as they savor the flavors of their food and drink from ornate, decorative vessels. The air is filled with the aroma of spices and the sound of laughter. A notable aspect of this image is the practice of removing shoes before entering the dining area, a custom deeply rooted in Egyptian culture. This custom was not only a sign of respect for the household and the food being consumed but also a practical measure to keep the floor clean. The women of the household are notably absent from this image, as it was the norm for them to prepare and serve the meal while the men enjoyed it. This gender dynamic was a common variation in Egyptian society during this time period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Egyptian culture, providing a window into the past and shedding light on the daily lives of people from a bygone era. The convivial atmosphere and warm camaraderie depicted in this image serve as a reminder of the universal human desire for connection and enjoyment, transcending the boundaries of time and place.
