EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Alexandria, Egypt in 1936. The image captures the vibrant energy of Place Muhammad Ali, a square filled with people going about their daily lives. Men and women can be seen strolling along the urban road, creating a dynamic scene against the backdrop of historic buildings. The play of light and shadow adds depth to this monochrome snapshot, highlighting the architectural beauty that defines this era. As pedestrians traverse the lane, their silhouettes create an intriguing contrast against the sunlit avenue. It is fascinating to observe how fashion trends from the thirties are reflected in both men's and women's attire. This photograph was discovered in a private album belonging to a passenger who embarked on an unforgettable journey aboard the S. S. Arandora Star on April 9th, 1936. It offers us a glimpse into their experiences as they explored different corners of Egypt during this time period. As we admire this remarkable piece from our heritage collection, it serves as a reminder of how photography has preserved moments frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. This particular print allows us to immerse ourselves in early 20th-century Alexandria while honoring its historical significance within Egyptian culture and society.
