EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back in time to Cairo, Egypt, as depicted in the Bibby Annual published in 1917. The scene is bustling with life and showcases a snapshot of daily life in this North African city. In the foreground, we see a group of Egyptian sellers, both male and female, dressed in traditional attire. They are surrounded by an array of colorful fruits displayed on wooden carts. Their animated conversations fill the air as they engage with potential customers passing by. The architecture of Cairo serves as a stunning backdrop to this street scene. Moorish influences can be seen through intricate arches and ornate details adorning the buildings. The Islamic influence is evident through minarets peeking out from behind rooftops. A pony stands patiently beside one of the fruit sellers' carts, adding an element of charm to the composition. In contrast, a woman wearing a burkha walks gracefully along the street, her presence highlighting cultural diversity within Cairo's streetscape. This illustration not only captures everyday life but also offers glimpses into botany and natural history. It reminds us that food has always been at the heart of human existence – connecting people across cultures throughout history. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this image transports viewers back in time while simultaneously celebrating diversity and showcasing Cairo's unique beauty.
