A Street of Almees (Egyptian dancing girls), Egypt, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century Egypt. The artist, Alfred-Henri Darjou, skillfully captures the essence of poverty and resilience in this snapshot of daily life. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling street filled with dilapidated buildings and narrow lanes. Amidst the worn-out architecture stands a group of Egyptian dancing girls known as Almees. These women exude strength and grace as they perform their traditional dances for passersby. The monochrome tones add depth to the image, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. It highlights not only the physical hardships faced by these women but also their inner beauty that shines through despite their circumstances. Darjou's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. We can almost hear the sounds of busy footsteps echoing against cobblestone roads while catching glimpses of curious onlookers peering from windows above. This print serves as a reminder of both the struggles faced by these Egyptian women during that time period and their ability to find joy amidst adversity. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own lives and appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations.
