EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Esbekieh Square in Cairo, Egypt, circa 1910. The image is filled with a rich tapestry of activity, as horse-drawn carts and trams jostle for space on the narrow streets. The clatter of hooves and the hiss of steam mingle with the cacophony of voices and the rustle of palm fronds, creating a symphony of sounds that is quintessentially Cairo. In the foreground, a tram, a symbol of modernity and progress, glides smoothly along the tracks, its passengers gazing out at the vibrant scene unfolding before them. The tram, a common mode of transportation in the city during this era, is flanked by traditional horse-drawn carts, each piled high with goods or passengers. The contrast between the two modes of transport highlights the coexistence of tradition and innovation in this dynamic city. The photograph also reveals the diverse population of Cairo, with people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds going about their daily business. In the background, the majestic Liverpool Hotel, a grand colonial-era establishment, looms large, its white façade a stark contrast to the bustling chaos of the square below. The hotel, a symbol of Western influence, stands as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and its role as a melting pot of different civilizations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when the old and the new collided in the heart of Cairo's bustling Esbekieh Square.
