EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Nile Delta in Egypt during the late 19th century. The image showcases a primitive corn-mill, its creator unknown, serving as a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian life. This mechanism for grinding corn stands tall within a rustic building, revealing the ingenuity of our ancestors. The monochrome tones add an air of mystery and timelessness to this scene. As we peer inside the mill's interior, we can almost hear the rhythmic sounds of machinery at work. The intricate details of this machine highlight the craftsmanship that went into its creation. This photograph was featured in "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895. It is a testament to how photography played an essential role in documenting different cultures across continents during that era. As we reflect on this image, we are transported not only to Egypt but also to Africa itself – a continent rich with history and diversity. Waterlow & Sons Ltd. , known for their exceptional printing quality, have beautifully preserved this moment from Mizraim (ancient name for Egypt). Let us cherish this remarkable snapshot from our past—a reminder of human innovation and resilience throughout centuries gone by.
