EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caire ee de Choubra" by Felix Bonfils takes us back to the enchanting streets of Cairo in the 1870s. The renowned French photographer, Bonfils, skillfully captures the essence of this bustling city with his albumen silver print. In this particular scene, we find ourselves strolling down Allee de Choubra, a vibrant and lively street filled with an array of people going about their daily lives. The composition is meticulously framed, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the rich cultural tapestry that Cairo has to offer. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element within the photograph tells its own story. From the intricately designed buildings showcasing Islamic architecture to the colorful market stalls lining both sides of the street, each aspect adds depth and character to this visual narrative. Bonfils' mastery lies not only in capturing architectural beauty but also in portraying human connection. As we observe closely, we notice individuals engaged in conversations or engrossed in their work. Their expressions reveal a sense of community and resilience amidst a rapidly changing world. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a timeless reminder of Cairo's historical significance and its enduring charm. It allows us to travel back in time and experience firsthand what life was like during this period through Bonfils' lens.
