EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time in Cairo, Egypt, circa 1890, showcasing the important role of water bearers in society. The image depicts two female water bearers dressed in traditional attire, carrying containers filled with precious water on their heads.
The women are adorned in intricate clothing and accessories that reflect the cultural heritage of Egypt at the time. Their veils and turbans add to the mystique of the scene, while also serving a practical purpose under the scorching sun.
The print on double-weight paper brings out every detail of this historical photograph taken by Pascal Sebah. The composition highlights not only the physical strength and resilience of these women but also provides insight into their daily lives and vocation as essential providers of water to their community.
This image is not just a portrait but a window into a bygone era, shedding light on aspects such as diet, fashion, and ethnicity among negroid populations in Egypt during this period. It serves as an invaluable piece for those interested in anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and cultural studies.
Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Egyptian history and tradition through the lens of these dedicated water bearers from Cairo.
