EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Special Artist in Egypt captures the vibrant and diverse character sketches along the road from Alexandria to Cairo. This enchanting engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Egyptian culture and daily life. The print showcases a multitude of fascinating individuals encountered on this journey. From the stoic station master to the captivating Bedouin girl dressed in traditional attire, each figure tells their own unique story. The young fellah working diligently alongside the night signalman and shunter adds a touch of youthful energy to the scene. Amidst bustling street scenes, we witness vendors offering bread and water, while children eagerly await their turn for punches at a playful game. Policemen ensure order as travelers purchase tickets from diligent signal men. The artist beautifully captures these moments with intricate detail and skillful artistry. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also provides valuable insights into Egyptian society during that era. It reflects both North African charm and influences from Central Africa, showcasing how cultures intersected along this important route. Through this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to experience Egypt's rich artistic heritage firsthand. It reminds us of the power of art to document history and preserve cultural traditions for future generations.
