EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Egypt around the late 1800s, depicts a group of local men engaged in a leisurely activity, playing a board game while enjoying a hookah pipe. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the region during the 19th century. The men, dressed in traditional ethnic attire, sit cross-legged on a carpeted floor, their eyes focused intently on the game before them. The hookah pipe, an iconic symbol of Middle Eastern culture, rests on a low table, its long stem curling up towards the ceiling. The smoky haze that surrounds them adds an atmospheric quality to the scene, evoking a sense of tranquility and camaraderie. The board game, with its intricate design and unfamiliar symbols, is a testament to the unique indigenous games that were once popular in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East. The men's expressions of concentration and enjoyment suggest that the game is a source of entertainment and social bonding. This photograph, with its ethnographic significance, offers a valuable insight into the daily life and customs of Egyptians during the 1880s and 1890s. It is a reminder of a time when travelers, explorers, and adventurers ventured to far-off lands to discover new cultures and expand their knowledge of the world. Today, it serves as an important historical record, preserving the memory of a bygone era and the traditions of a fascinating people.
