EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, around 2,500 BC. The image showcases an Egyptian woman diligently grinding corn using a traditional saddle quern. This scene is believed to have been depicted on an Egyptian tomb figure, which adds another layer of historical significance. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the woman's dedication as she expertly grinds the corn into flour. Her hands move rhythmically and gracefully against the rough surface of the quern, creating a cloud of fine dust that fills the air around her. It is fascinating to observe how such a simple tool played a crucial role in transforming raw grains into essential sustenance for the people of ancient Egypt. The photograph itself was captured around 1910, providing us with a glimpse into both ancient history and early photography techniques. Through this image, we are transported to an era where food preparation required manual labor and resourcefulness. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry and craftsmanship preserved through centuries, it serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and resilience. Moreover, it prompts us to reflect on how far humanity has come in terms of technological advancements since those days when grinding corn was done by hand using tools like the saddle quern seen here.
