EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of agriculture in Egypt during the 1920s. The image showcases a scene near Cairo, where fields are being irrigated using traditional methods. A group of hardworking individuals, likely Egyptian farmers, can be seen tending to their crops with dedication and precision. In the foreground, a majestic cow or ox is harnessed to a turning wheel mechanism that powers the irrigation system. This ingenious machinery allows water from the mighty Nile River to be channeled into the fields, ensuring optimal growth for crops. The presence of animals in this process highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature in agricultural practices. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this snapshot from history. It transports us back to an era when life was simpler yet filled with arduous labor and reliance on natural resources. This print is taken from "In the Land of Pharaohs" a publication by Lehnert & Landrock - renowned photographers based in Cairo at that time. Their work aimed to capture Egypt's rich cultural heritage while showcasing its geographical features. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of Egypt's deep-rooted connection with its land and rivers – a testament to centuries-old farming traditions that have sustained communities along the banks of the Nile for generations.
