EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in Egypt in 1895, captures the scene of Egyptian asses, or donkeys, carrying both people and goods through the bustling streets of this ancient land. Donkeys have been an integral part of Egyptian transportation for thousands of years, and their sturdy build and sure-footedness made them the perfect animals for navigating the rugged terrain and crowded markets. In this image, we see several donkeys laden with various items, from large sacks of grain to baskets of fruit, skillfully balanced atop their backs. People, dressed in traditional Egyptian garb, ride side-saddle on the animals, their faces set in determined expressions as they make their way through the crowded marketplace. The donkeys move steadily forward, their ears pricked and their eyes focused on their destination. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Egypt during the late 19th century, a time when the country was undergoing significant change as it opened up to the outside world. The scene is one of hustle and bustle, with people and animals moving in all directions, creating a sense of energy and vitality that is both captivating and intriguing. Despite the passage of time, the image remains a powerful reminder of the enduring role that donkeys have played in the history and culture of Egypt, and the vital contribution they continue to make to the daily lives of many people in the region.
