EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Dam Road, Assouan" takes us back to the early 20th century and offers a glimpse into the world of British colonialism in Egypt. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an English traveler on his adventurous journey through the Egyptian desert. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the brave explorer mounted on a donkey, wearing a pith helmet and holding onto his saddle tightly. With determination etched across his face, he navigates through rugged terrain with his trusty stick by his side. However, it seems that even experienced travelers can encounter unexpected obstacles as we witness him being thrown off balance due to an unexpected bucking from his spirited mount. The scene itself exudes both excitement and danger simultaneously. The vastness of the desert stretches out before our eyes, creating a sense of awe and wonder at nature's grandeur. This image not only showcases travel but also highlights themes of colonialism prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Lance Thackeray's collection "The Light Side of Egypt" we are reminded of how photography has preserved moments like these for generations to come. It allows us to delve into history and gain insights into different cultures while appreciating the artistry behind each frame captured by talented photographers like Thackeray.
