EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Egypte Egypt Le Caire pris de la Citadelle" transports us back in time to the bustling city of Cairo in 1877. Taken by the talented French photographer Felix Bonfils, this tinted albumen silver print captures a panoramic view of the city from the vantage point of the historic Citadelle. The image showcases the architectural wonders and vibrant life that characterized Cairo during this period. The intricate minarets and domes of mosques rise majestically against a clear blue sky, while narrow streets wind their way through clusters of traditional buildings. The hustle and bustle of daily life can be seen in the figures going about their activities below, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. Bonfils' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph, from its composition to its rich tonal range. The delicate tinting adds an ethereal quality, enhancing our experience as viewers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alais, France-based Bonfils' collection, we are transported not only geographically but also emotionally. It serves as a reminder that photography has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments frozen in time – allowing us to explore different cultures and eras with just one glance at an exquisite image like this one.
