EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "Date Harvest in Egypt; Northeastern Africa," is a captivating photograph from the 1910s, showcasing the labor-intensive process of date harvesting in Egypt. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The photograph presents a striking scene of Egyptian farmers, both men, working diligently in the Nile Valley, surrounded by vast expanses of date palms. The farmers, dressed in traditional clothing, are shown climbing the trees to pick the ripe dates, while others are seen collecting the fallen fruit from the ground. The date palms, with their tall, slender trunks and feathery fronds, stretch towards the clear blue sky, providing a striking contrast against the arid landscape. The photograph offers a glimpse into the agricultural way of life in Egypt during the early 20th century, highlighting the importance of date farming in the region. Dates were, and still are, a staple crop in the Egyptian economy, particularly in the northeastern part of the country. The image also underscores the significant role of human labor in agricultural production, with the farmers working together to ensure a successful harvest. The photograph's composition, lighting, and use of contrast create a visually compelling image that transports us back in time, offering a window into the past and the rich agricultural heritage of Egypt and North Africa. The photograph is a testament to the enduring connection between people and the land, as well as the resilience and hard work required to cultivate crops in challenging environments.
