EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Mahomet El Bashse, an Egyptian camel driver from the late 19th century. The image showcases a variety of contrasts, both visually and culturally. Dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, Mahomet's striking appearance stands out against the backdrop of his global surroundings. The photographer, an American artist from the 19th century, skillfully portrays Mahomet as a study in racial comparison. This ethnographic portrait highlights not only his unique features but also serves as a representation of different clothing styles from around the world. With meticulous attention to detail, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into the rich diversity that existed during this era. From his full head of hair to his carefully chosen garments, every aspect contributes to our understanding of cultural identity and expression. Particularly significant is how this image fits within Professor F. W. Putnam's collection titled "Portrait Types of the Midway Plaisance". It provides valuable insight into various ethnicities and their distinct characteristics. As we delve deeper into this thought-provoking print, it becomes evident that it goes beyond being just another portrait; it is an exploration into humanity itself. Through photography's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty found within our differences - a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance.
