EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Antique Pest, from The Light Side of Egypt" we are transported back in time to the enchanting streets of Edwardian Egypt. The vibrant colour lithograph by Lance Thackeray captures a bustling scene filled with tourists and locals alike. Amidst the chaotic atmosphere, our attention is drawn to a British traveller engaging in a lively haggling session with an Egyptian vendor. With their donkey patiently waiting nearby, the seller showcases an array of trinkets and treasures that undoubtedly pique the tourist's interest. The image beautifully portrays the clash of cultures as these two individuals navigate through language barriers and cultural differences. The Englishman, adorned in traditional attire, negotiates while his counterpart wears a veil symbolizing her heritage. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the world of travel during this era – where explorers sought out unique experiences and souvenirs from distant lands. It also serves as a reminder that even amidst unfamiliar surroundings, human interactions remain universal; bargaining for goods transcends borders. "The Antique Pest" encapsulates both the allure and challenges faced by travellers venturing into unknown territories. This evocative piece invites us to reflect on how tourism has evolved over time while celebrating the timeless spirit of exploration that unites people across generations.
