EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, a young and energetic crowd of Cairo's youth enthusiastically escort Premier Nahas Pasha through the bustling streets of the Egyptian capital as he returns to the city for the royal wedding of King Farouk and Queen Farida in 1952. The recently deposed premier, dressed in a suit and hat, waves to the cheering crowd as they jump on the hoods and running boards of cars, some of which are in motion, creating a scene of both excitement and potential danger. The atmosphere in Cairo during the royal wedding celebrations was electric, with car jumping and tram jumping prevalent throughout the city. The youths' exuberance and enthusiasm were a stark contrast to the political instability and unrest that had led to Pasha's dismissal just weeks earlier. Despite the potential for chaos and injury, the police men in the background seem to be maintaining a watchful but relaxed presence, allowing the crowd to express their joy and enthusiasm for the royal wedding. This photograph captures a unique moment in Egyptian history, showcasing the energy and enthusiasm of the youth during a time of political transition. The image serves as a reminder of the power and influence of the younger generation, even in the face of political upheaval and uncertainty. The photograph, originally titled "Boys will be boys," is a poignant reminder of the unconventional and often dangerous scenes that played out on the streets of Cairo during the royal wedding celebrations of 1952. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of Egyptian history or cultural photography.
