EDITORS COMMENTS
The After-dinner Speech captures the vibrant and multicultural atmosphere of early 20th century Egypt. This photo print, taken from The Light Side of Egypt in 1908, showcases a scene filled with elegance and diversity. In this image, we are transported to a formal dining setting where British tourists indulge in an exquisite meal. Dressed in traditional Edwardian attire, they sit at beautifully set tables adorned with fine china and elegant cutlery. The ambiance is enhanced by the presence of attentive Arabic waiters dressed impeccably in fez hats and tarbooshes. The shutters behind them reveal glimpses of bustling streets outside, hinting at the lively energy that permeates Egyptian culture. As one diner prepares to deliver an after-dinner speech, all eyes turn towards him with anticipation. This photograph not only highlights the fusion between British and Egyptian cultures but also serves as a testament to the allure of travel during this era. It encapsulates the essence of exploration and adventure as these English travelers immerse themselves in new experiences while enjoying a taste of exotic cuisine. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print transports us back in time, inviting us to witness a moment frozen forever within its frame. It is truly a remarkable piece that celebrates both cultural exchange and the joyous act of sharing a meal together.
