EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Egyptian Women and Children of the Lower Classes," taken in 1895, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Egyptian women and children of the lower classes during the late 19th century. The image captures a group of women, each wearing traditional Egyptian veils, engaging in various tasks, while a few young children play nearby, unveiled and barefoot. The veils worn by the women are an essential aspect of their cultural attire. The veil, known as the "niqab," was a sign of modesty and respectability for Egyptian women of all classes. However, it was most commonly worn by women of the lower classes as a means of protection from the harsh desert sun and the prying eyes of strangers. The veil was often made of thin, breathable fabric, allowing for some airflow, and was held in place by a headband or a series of braids. The children in the photograph, on the other hand, are not veiled. This was a common practice among young girls, who were not yet considered women and did not need to adhere to the same modesty standards. Boys, too, were not veiled, as they were not subjected to the same social pressures regarding modesty. The women in this photograph are shown working and going about their daily routines, while the children play and explore their surroundings. The scene is one of simple, everyday life in Egypt during the late 19th century. The image provides a valuable historical record of Egyptian culture and social customs, offering insights into the lives of women and children of the lower classes during this time period.
