EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1905, a young North African boy confidently rides an ox along the edge of the Nile flood, with the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza standing proudly in the background. The pyramids, constructed over 4,500 years ago, are a testament to the architectural prowess and cultural richness of ancient Egypt. The Nile River, the lifeblood of Egypt, is depicted in all its glory, its waters flooded and teeming with life. The boy, dressed in traditional North African attire, skillfully steers the ox as it wades through the waters, leaving ripples in its wake. The scene is serene and idyllic, yet the presence of the pyramids adds a sense of history and grandeur. Geese can be seen swimming in the waters, adding to the natural beauty of the scene. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of life along the Nile during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the close relationship between the people of Egypt and the Nile, a bond that has endured for thousands of years. The photograph, taken by Grenville Collins, transports us back to a time when the world was a much different place. It is a poignant reminder of the beauty and complexity of Egypt and its history, and the enduring allure of the Nile and its surroundings. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Egyptian history, travel, or culture.
