EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a lively scene at a Cairo café in 1912, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Egypt during the early 20th century. The image is filled with an eclectic mix of people, each engaged in their own activities, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. At the heart of the scene, a barista skillfully prepares coffee for a customer, the steam rising from the cup as he expertly pours it into a small glass. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the tantalizing smells of various Middle Eastern dishes being prepared in the background. The café's patrons, dressed in a range of traditional and Western attire, engage in animated conversations, some laughing and others deep in thought. A group of men huddle around a low table, playing backgammon, while a woman in a flowing, colorful robe sits alone, sipping her tea and watching the world go by. The café's decor is a delightful blend of the old and the new, with ornate, intricately-carved wooden panels adorning the walls, and modern electric lamps casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. The bustling energy of the café is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that was taking place in Egypt at the time, as it straddled the divide between the traditional and the modern. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the vibrant and diverse café culture that has long been a part of Cairo's history, and a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
