EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Women bringing water from the Nile, 1860" transports us back to a bygone era in North Africa. The image, captured through a colour lithograph by Henri de Montaut, showcases a scene of daily life along the majestic Nile River. As the sun sets on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the landscape, we witness a group of women clad in vibrant Arabic robes making their way towards the riverbank. With grace and determination etched on their faces, they carry large vases upon their heads - vessels that will soon quench the thirst of their community. A young child accompanies them on this arduous journey, his innocent eyes reflecting both curiosity and anticipation. In harmony with nature's rhythm, an oxen pair pulls an empty cart nearby; perhaps it awaits its turn to be filled with precious water jars. The tranquility of dawn or dusk amplifies this poignant moment as these resilient women fulfill one of life's most basic needs - providing sustenance for themselves and those around them. Their actions speak volumes about strength and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Through this powerful composition capturing everyday life in Egypt during the 19th century, we are reminded of humanity's deep connection to our natural surroundings. This timeless artwork serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and human perseverance – reminding us that even in times long past, people found ways to overcome adversity while nurturing their communities' well-being.
