Beauty and the Beasts, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to early 20th century North Africa. Created by British artist Lance Thackeray as part of his collection "The Light Side of Egypt" this image offers a glimpse into the cultural diversity and rich heritage of the continent. In this scene, we see an Egyptian village where men and women are dressed in traditional attire. A group of locals stands together, their colorful costumes adding vibrancy to the frame. The women wear long skirts and veils, while the men don loose-fitting garments with distinctive headgear. Amidst this lively gathering, our attention is drawn to a woman who stands out from the rest – our beauty amidst these beasts. She exudes elegance in her finely embroidered dress and delicate veil that partially covers her face. Her poise suggests both strength and grace. Thackeray's composition skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also hints at deeper narratives within this community. It invites contemplation about gender dynamics, societal roles, or perhaps even love stories unfolding against this picturesque backdrop. This historic photograph transports us back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – an encounter between cultures bridging continents. As we admire "Beauty and the Beasts" let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its significance as a testament to humanity's shared history across borders.
