EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Marriage musulmane en Egypt" transports us back to 19th century Egypt, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and customs of the Muslim community. The image is part of the renowned publication "Moeurs et coutumes des peuples", edited by Hocquart in Paris in 1814. In this scene, we witness a joyous celebration as a young girl stands beside a drum, ready to provide rhythmic accompaniment to the wedding festivities. Her vibrant attire reflects the colorful African heritage that permeates Egyptian culture. A veiled woman, perhaps the bride herself, stands nearby with grace and elegance. The engraving beautifully captures not only the visual elements but also evokes an auditory experience through its depiction of musicians playing traditional instruments. The tambourine held by one musician adds an element of rhythm and melody to this momentous occasion. This image serves as a reminder of how music transcends boundaries and unites people from different backgrounds under one universal language. It showcases both the diversity within Islam and highlights Egypt's unique blend of African influences with Islamic traditions. Preserved in time by Leonard de Selva's photography skills, this historical artwork allows us to appreciate and celebrate cultural practices that have shaped societies for centuries.
