EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Egyptian Family in a Courtyard, 1893" takes us back to the enchanting streets of Cairo in the late 19th century. Captured by an English photographer, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life scene of an extended Egyptian family. The courtyard setting exudes tranquility as members of the family are seen leisurely enjoying their time together. The atmosphere is filled with smoke from hookah pipes, creating a sense of relaxation and camaraderie. The aroma of coffee lingers in the air, suggesting that it plays an integral role in their social gatherings. In this urban scene, we witness a blend of African and Moorish influences reflected through the architecture and attire worn by both men and women. Each member seems engrossed in conversation or lost in thought, adding depth to this candid moment frozen in time. This photograph is part of a larger album created by Lt. Col. Arthur Johnstone Richardson, Col. G. C. Sartorious, and Lt. C. L Estridge - three individuals who were captivated by Egypt's rich cultural tapestry. As we delve into this historical treasure captured over a century ago, we are transported to another era where customs intertwine with modernity against the backdrop of bustling Cairo streetscapes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives today; moments like these spent with loved ones remain timeless treasures worth cherishing forever.
