Cairo Ewer Glasses Itinerant Lemonade Seller Shoulder Strap Vendor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of an Egyptian lemonade seller, skillfully balancing a large ewer adorned with a shoulder strap on his back as he navigates the bustling streets of Cairo during the 1910s. Dressed in traditional attire, the vendor dons a red fez hat and wears a pair of glasses perched on his nose, adding to his distinctive appearance. The ewer, a common tool used by itinerant vendors to transport and serve their wares, is filled with the refreshing and iconic Egyptian lemonade. The vibrant colors and textures of the scene, from the intricate patterns on the vendor's clothing to the rich hues of the ewer and the warm tones of the Cairo streets, transport us back in time to a bygone era. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of Egypt during the early 20th century, providing a unique and intriguing window into the past.
