EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1904, offers a glimpse into the daily life of an Egyptian Arab barber shop in Cairo. The ornately decorated wooden structure, adorned with intricate carvings and arches, serves as the perfect backdrop for the barber's artful craft. The barber, dressed in traditional attire, expertly wields a straight razor as he shaves the face of a client, who sits comfortably on a nearby chair. A young attendant, also dressed in traditional clothing, holds a hand mirror to ensure a precise shave. The warm, inviting atmosphere is further accentuated by the aroma of shaving soap and the calming presence of a man smoking a pipe in the background. This scene, reminiscent of bustling bazaars and markets in North Africa, offers a window into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the importance of personal grooming in the daily lives of its people.
