EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Egyptian history: the ceremonial procession marking the marriage of King Farouk I of Egypt (1920-1965) and Safinaz Zulficar (1921-1988), in 1938. The future queen, a pasha's daughter, was renamed Farida upon her marriage. The marriage produced three daughters but ended in divorce in 1948. King Farouk, the penultimate king of Egypt and Sudan, is seen here atop his ornate golden throne, adorned with intricate designs and precious stones. He wears the Egyptian crown, a symbol of his royal lineage and power. Surrounded by his courtiers and soldiers, the king cuts an imposing figure as he leads the procession through the bustling streets of Cairo. The bride, Safinaz Zulficar, rides on a magnificent float, adorned with lush flowers and exotic plants. She is dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, her face veiled in accordance with custom. The float is pulled by horses, adding to the grandeur and spectacle of the occasion. The marriage of Farouk I and Safinaz Zulficar was a significant event in Egyptian history, marking the continuation of the royal dynasty. The ceremony was attended by dignitaries from across the region, including Muhammad Ali, the ruler of Egypt and Sudan from 1805 to 1848, who is seen in the background of the photograph, observing the procession with great interest. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural traditions of Egypt, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of a bygone era. The marriage of Farouk I and Safinaz Zulficar remains an important chapter in the history of the Egyptian monarchy, and this photograph is a valuable record of this historic event.
