EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "People of Alexandria" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of this ancient Egyptian city. Created by Charles Auguste Loye in 1882, it offers a vivid snapshot of daily life during that era. The scene is teeming with activity as we observe various individuals going about their routines. A watchman stands alertly, ensuring the safety of the street and its inhabitants. Porters carry heavy loads on their backs, while sellers display their wares in vibrant market stalls. The aroma of tobacco and cooking fills the air, enticing passersby. Amongst the crowd, we see a blind grocer skillfully navigating his way through the chaos. His sightless eyes speak volumes about resilience and determination despite disability. Nearby, an Albanian beggar dressed in traditional attire seeks alms from compassionate pedestrians. Further along, a woman carries water from a nearby well to her humble abode while craftsmen showcase their handywork - from furniture to gastronomy - highlighting Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Loye's attention to detail transports us into this enchanting world frozen in time. Through his masterful strokes and intricate engravings, he captures not only the physical aspects but also the spirit and essence of Alexandria's people. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that history lives on through art – allowing us glimpses into past civilizations and fostering appreciation for our shared human experiences across continents and centuries.
