EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Egypt: Water-Wheel worked by Buffalo" transports us back to the 19th century in Egypt. Taken by an English photographer, this print showcases a remarkable sight that was once common in Egyptian landscapes. In the image, we see a majestic water-wheel being operated by a buffalo. The sheer size of the wheel is awe-inspiring, as it stands tall against the backdrop of an ancient land. This ingenious invention harnesses the power of flowing water to irrigate fields and provide sustenance for crops. The historical significance of this photo cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of civilizations long gone. As we admire this scene, we can almost hear the rhythmic creaking sound produced by each rotation of the wheel. This particular print was featured in George Ch Dovas' "Souvenir of Egypt" publication from 1898. Its inclusion speaks volumes about its cultural importance at that time. As we delve into history through these visual artifacts, let us appreciate not only their aesthetic beauty but also their ability to transport us across time and space. This photograph serves as a testament to human innovation and our deep connection with nature—a reminder that even centuries ago, people found ways to work harmoniously with animals and natural resources for their survival.
