EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt in the early 1920s. Taken by artist Donald McLeish, it captures a vibrant scene at the Craftsmen's Tentmakers Bazaar. The print is part of the renowned collection "Peoples of all Nations" edited by JA Hammerton. In this snapshot of time, we see a group of skilled craftsmen engrossed in their work. Dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, these men wear headdresses and turbans that reflect their cultural heritage. They are seated on the ground, diligently creating intricate patterns on fabric with great precision and expertise. Amidst this lively market atmosphere, children can be seen observing their fathers' craftsmanship with wide-eyed curiosity. This image beautifully encapsulates not only an occupation but also a way of life passed down through generations. Cairo's urban landscape serves as a backdrop for this portrait, reminding us that these artisans contribute to the rich tapestry of Egyptian culture. Their dedication to their craft is evident as they transform simple materials into works of art. Donald McLeish skillfully captures both the essence and significance of these craftsmen's daily lives through his lens. His ability to freeze moments like this allows us to appreciate not only their talent but also the interconnectedness between people and places across continents and centuries.
