EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Prince of Wales in Egypt: Jereed exercise performed by Arnouts and Arab chiefs before His Royal Highness at the Governor's Palace, Assiout, 1862," offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing an intriguing moment in history. The image features the future King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland (1841-1910), who is seen observing an enthralling traditional performance by local Arnouts and Arab chiefs in Upper Egypt. The scene takes place in Assiout, a city located in the heart of Egypt's desert region, near the geographical feature of Asyut. The Prince, who was on a return journey from Upper Egypt, was captivated by the skill and agility of these men as they demonstrated the jereed exercise. The jereed is a light spear, and the chieftains showcased their prowess by throwing it with great precision and dexterity, even while their horses galloped at full speed. The photograph, created by E. Skill, was published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, offering Europeans a glimpse into the exotic and unfamiliar world of Africa. The image captures the essence of the wild and untamed desert landscape, with its vast expanses of sand and the majestic horses and riders. The contrast between the European Prince and the local Arab chiefs highlights the cultural differences and the intrigue that came with exploration and interaction between continents during the 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and diverse cultures that have shaped our world, offering a glimpse into the past and the connections that have been forged between people and lands throughout history.
