EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily life of Arab fishermen in Port Said, Egypt during the 1920s. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are deeply focused on their work as they wind twine for their fishing nets. The scene is set against the backdrop of the bustling Port Said harbor, with ships and boats anchored in the distance. The Arab fishermen of Egypt have a rich and long-standing history, with fishing being an essential part of their culture and livelihood. This photograph, taken in 1922, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a window into the lives of these skilled workers. The men in the photograph are shown sitting on the ground, their hands deftly working the twine as they prepare for a day at sea. Their concentration is palpable, and their dedication to their craft is evident. The simple tools they use, such as the wooden spools and the twine, speak to the simplicity and self-sufficiency of their way of life. This image is a reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Middle East and North Africa, and the important role that fishing has played in the region's economy and culture. It also highlights the resilience and ingenuity of the people who have made their living from the sea for generations. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering insight into the lives of the Arab fishermen of Port Said during a time when the world was undergoing significant change. It is a reminder of the rich and complex history of this part of the world and the people who call it home.
