EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us to Egypt, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this ancient land. The print showcases a Fellah dressed in the Haba, an attire that reflects his status and identity within Egyptian society. With intricate details meticulously etched onto paper, we can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating this work of art. Standing beside him is a female figure wearing a face-veil, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Her veil conceals her features, leaving only her eyes visible to the world. This traditional practice speaks volumes about societal norms and customs prevalent during that era. The scene depicted here was originally intended as an illustration for The Imperial Gazetteer, A General Dictionary of Geography published by Blackie in approximately 1855. It serves as a visual representation of Egypt's diverse population and their distinctive clothing styles. As we gaze upon this historical print now preserved in a private collection, it sparks our curiosity about life in Egypt during this period. It reminds us of how fashion choices can reflect one's heritage and traditions while simultaneously evoking questions about individuality and self-expression. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this piece of history through Fine Art Finder; allowing us to delve deeper into the past and gain insight into cultures far removed from our own.
