EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a charming couple adorned in fancy dress make their way to a 1920s dance at Shepheards, likely the renowned Shepheards Hotel in Cairo. The man dons a clown or pierrot costume, complete with exaggerated features and a red nose, while the woman complements him in a fetching pierrot-style jumpsuit, adorned with intricate beading and a feathered cap. The back of the postcard, now slightly faded with age, bears the date of 1922, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and merriment. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of great cultural and social change, marked by flapper fashion, jazz music, and extravagant parties. This photograph serves as a delightful reminder of the playful and carefree spirit of the time, as the couple embraces the joy and whimsy of a fancy dress ball.
