Wintering in Egypt, Lady Bicyclists taking their Morning Ride in Cairo
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that captures the essence of early morning life in bustling Cairo during the 19th century. The image showcases a group of adventurous women cyclists gracefully pedaling through the vibrant streets, adorned with traditional Egyptian attire. The scene exudes an air of freedom and empowerment as these female cyclists break societal norms by engaging in this exhilarating sport. Their bicycles, a symbol of progress and modernity, contrast beautifully against the backdrop of ancient Egyptian architecture. As they navigate through the city's labyrinthine streets, one can almost feel the crispness of the winter air and hear the rhythmic sound of bicycle wheels on cobblestones. The artist skillfully portrays not only their physical prowess but also their determination to challenge gender stereotypes prevalent at that time. This lithograph was originally published as an illustration for "The Graphic" magazine on February 20th, 1897. It serves as a testament to how art can capture historical moments and shed light on cultural practices from different corners of the world. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness a unique blend of Victorian fashion and Egyptian culture colliding harmoniously amidst Cairo's enchanting landscape. It reminds us that even during times when societal expectations may have limited opportunities for women, there were always trailblazers who dared to defy conventions and embrace new experiences like cycling – regardless of where they found themselves across Africa or beyond.
