EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the bustling streets of Cairo during the 1910s, showcases the itinerant sellers of Bouza, an ancient Egyptian fermented alcoholic beverage produced from wheat. The sellers, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire and barefoot, can be seen carrying amphorae, or large earthen jars, balanced on their heads as they make their way through the crowded North African city. Bouza, also known as Buzza or Busa, has been a popular beverage in Egypt for thousands of years, with records dating back to ancient Egyptian civilization. The drink is made by fermenting wheat, barley, or other grains, and is typically consumed during festivals and celebrations. The sellers in this photograph are likely traveling from door to door, offering their wares to customers. The amphorae, which have been used for transporting liquids in the Middle East for over 5,000 years, are an essential part of the Bouza-selling tradition. The origin of the English term "booze" is a subject of debate among historians, but some believe it may be derived from the Arabic word "buz" or "buzqan," which means intoxicant or alcohol. This connection adds an intriguing layer of history to this evocative image of Cairo's itinerant Bouza sellers. The barefoot sellers, with their weathered faces and worn clothing, offer a glimpse into the daily life of Cairo during this era. Their determined expressions and the contrast between the modern cityscape and the traditional selling method create a striking visual narrative that transports us back in time.
