Bargain Hunting along the Nile - A Glimpse into Edwardian Tourism in Egypt
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Bargain Hunting" takes us back to the enchanting era of 1908, where British travelers embarked on a journey through the mystical landscapes of Egypt. Captured by Lance Thackeray, this vibrant color lithograph showcases a bustling scene filled with river-side tourists and local vendors. As we delve into this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to an Egyptian hawker adorned in traditional attire, skillfully displaying an array of trinkets and souvenirs. The British visitors, donning their spectacles and parasols under the scorching sun, eagerly engage with the seller as they haggle over prices. The image exudes a sense of adventure and curiosity that characterized English tourism during this period. With their fezzes and tarboosh hats adding a touch of exoticism to their outfits, these intrepid travelers sought not only mementos but also cherished memories from their encounters along the Nile. The composition beautifully captures both cultural exchange and commerce against the backdrop of one of nature's most majestic rivers. From scarves to glasses - each item tells its own story within this lively tableau. Preserved within private collections today, prints like these offer us glimpses into past eras when travel was more arduous yet infused with wonderment at every turn. Let us cherish such historical treasures that transport us back in time while celebrating
