EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling port in the Boulaq district of Cairo, Egypt, during the 19th century. Published in Barcelona in 1880 by El Mundo Ilustrado, this historical snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone era. In the foreground, traditional Egyptian feluccas gracefully sail along the mighty Nile River. These elegant sailing boats with their triangular sails were an integral part of daily life and commerce on the river at that time. The calm waters reflect their beauty as they navigate through the busy port. The scene is filled with activity as workers load and unload goods from various vessels docked at the port. The air is thick with anticipation as merchants haggle over prices while others go about their daily routines. This vibrant hub of trade showcases Cairo's importance as a center for commerce and cultural exchange during this period. The print captures not only the physicality of this historic location but also provides insight into Egyptian life during that time. It serves as a visual reminder of how much has changed since then while also highlighting elements that have remained constant throughout history. Ken Welsh's meticulous attention to detail brings this momentous era to life once again, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its rich tapestry of sights and sounds.
