EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Village on the Nile, c. 1880" transports us back in time to a serene settlement nestled along the banks of Egypt's iconic river. The image, captured by J. Pascal Sebah, showcases the timeless beauty of an Egyptian village that flourished over a century ago.

The villagers go about their daily routines, their silhouettes etched against the backdrop of traditional houses with unique architectural features. The calm waters of the Nile reflect the surrounding landscape and provide a vital lifeline for transportation. The presence of boats adds another layer of intrigue to this snapshot from history. A tugboat gracefully glides through the water, symbolizing progress and connectivity within this riverside community.
