EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Water Seller, Egypt" transports us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer, this print captures a moment in the bustling streets of Egypt. In the image, we see a North African man dressed in traditional robes carrying a large container filled with water on his shoulder. He is depicted as a trader or salesman, diligently navigating through the crowded marketplace. The weight of his wares seems to be no burden for him as he gracefully moves forward. The backdrop of this scene reveals glimpses of daily life along the riverbank. The flowing river symbolizes both life and sustenance for this ancient civilization. It serves as a reminder that water is not only essential for survival but also plays a significant role in commerce and trade. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the occupations and working conditions during that era. This water seller's presence represents countless individuals who made their living by providing vital resources to their communities. As we admire this postcard from a private collection now part of Look and Learn / Rosenberg Collection, it reminds us of how photography can capture moments frozen in time – allowing us to appreciate history's rich tapestry while honoring those whose labor often goes unnoticed.
