EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, captures a lively scene of Egyptian barbers at work in a bustling street of an Egyptian town. The image, a beautiful example of Photochrom print technology from the 1880s and 1890s, transports us back in time to an era of rich history and cultural diversity. The barbers, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, are engaged in their daily trade, skillfully shaving and grooming their clients on the sidewalk. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as the men chat and laugh amongst themselves, while their customers relax in the comfortable chairs, some even dozing off in the warm Egyptian sun. In the background, we see a mix of architectural styles, reflecting the diverse influences that shaped Egypt during the 19th century. A traditional Egyptian building with intricate arches and ornate decorations stands tall next to a more modern, European-style structure with large windows and a grand facade. The streets are filled with a vibrant mix of people, each representing their unique ethnicity and cultural background. The photograph also showcases the various modes of transportation used during this era, with horses and carts passing by, and the occasional bicycle or donkey-drawn carriage. The urban landscape is a testament to the rich history and diverse heritage of Egypt, a land that has been shaped by the influences of various empires and cultures throughout history. This ethnographic snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Egyptian people during the late 19th century, providing a valuable insight into the customs, traditions, and occupations of this fascinating country.
