EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Street in Cairo, 1898" transports us back to the bustling Egyptian capital over a century ago. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant street scene of that time. In this snapshot of history, we see a man elegantly riding a donkey through the crowded streets. He is dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, wearing a fez on his head and draped in flowing garments. The man's presence stands out amidst the poverty-stricken surroundings, highlighting both resilience and dignity. Umbrellas dotting the street add an interesting visual element to this composition, providing shade from Egypt's scorching sun. They serve as accessories that not only shield individuals from harsh weather but also symbolize protection and shelter within an ever-changing world. Allers' attention to detail captures not just physical appearances but also emotions and societal concepts prevalent during that era. This lithograph serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to transport viewers across time and space. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, let us reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating the rich cultural heritage preserved within its lines.
