EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful beauty and radiance of Farida Zulficar, who would later become Queen Farida of Egypt, on the occasion of her engagement to King Farouk I in 1937. At just seventeen years old, Farida's elegant demeanor and regal presence are evident in this historical image. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1921, Farida Zulficar was the eldest daughter of a wealthy Egyptian family. Her engagement to King Farouk, who was twenty-six years her senior, was a highly publicized event in Egypt and around the world. The royal wedding took place in March 1938, and Farida became the Queen Consort of Egypt. During her reign, Queen Farida was known for her charitable work and her commitment to improving the lives of the Egyptian people. She founded several organizations, including the Farida Society for the Protection of Mothers and Children and the Farida Society for the Blind. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Egyptian history, as the young Farida stands on the threshold of her future as a queen. Her poised and confident expression speaks to her inner strength and determination, making this image a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of the Egyptian monarchy.
