EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the mid or late 19th century transports us to the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt. The image captures a vibrant scene in the open-air market known as the Grand Bazaar of Kasr El Nil. In this snapshot frozen in time, people and animals fill every corner of the frame. The market is alive with activity as locals engage in lively trade and commerce. Donkeys laden with baskets can be seen traversing through the crowd, adding to the sense of chaos and energy. The diversity of Egyptian society is evident as men, women, and children from different walks of life come together in this vibrant marketplace. A young boy catches our attention amidst all the hustle and bustle; perhaps he is assisting his family or simply exploring this fascinating world on his own. The ancient trees that dot the landscape provide some respite from Cairo's scorching sun while also serving as a reminder of nature's enduring presence amid urbanization. Photographed by Adelphi and Constantine Zangaki, two renowned photographers capturing North African scenes during their time, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its age-old tradition of trading at local markets like these.
