EDITORS COMMENTS
Kouffehs Sur L Euphrate, (Kuphars on the Euphrates), 1900. This print captures a scene from the early 20th century in Arabia, showcasing the traditional Kuphar boats gracefully floating on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The unknown creator of this image beautifully portrays the essence of life along these iconic waterways. The circular shape of these coracle-like boats, known as Kuphars, is a testament to their unique design and functionality. Used by local fishermen for centuries, they have become an integral part of Middle Eastern culture and transportation. In this particular photograph taken from 'Autour du Monde - Fascicule VIII', we see a group of men aboard one such fishing boat engaged in their daily activities. Their presence adds depth to the composition while providing insight into the lives of those who rely on these rivers for sustenance. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured by L. Boulanger transport us back in time to experience France's fascination with Arabian landscapes during that era. The photogravure technique used further enhances its artistic appeal. This print serves as a window into both history and geography, offering glimpses into Asia's rich heritage and geographical features. It reminds us of how tradition intertwines with nature, shaping communities' ways of life along riverbanks worldwide.
