EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Jerusalem in the 1880s. The image showcases a charismatic ambulant cafetier, or coffee vendor, navigating through the vibrant cityscape. With an air of mystery and exoticism, this orientalist photography by Felix Bonfils captures a moment frozen in history. The cafetier stands proudly behind his portable coffee cart, adorned with intricate patterns and traditional Middle Eastern motifs. His weathered face tells stories of countless encounters with locals and travelers alike, as he skillfully prepares aromatic cups of steaming coffee. The narrow cobblestone alleyways serve as his stage, where he engages passersby with enticing aromas and warm hospitality. In the background, we catch glimpses of ancient stone buildings that have witnessed centuries of history unfold before their eyes. The juxtaposition between tradition and modernity is palpable; it's a snapshot that encapsulates Jerusalem's timeless allure. Bonfils' masterful composition invites us to immerse ourselves in this enchanting scene. Through his lens, we are transported to an era long gone but still resonating within these historic walls. This print serves as a testament to both Bonfils' artistic vision and the enduring charm of Jerusalem's street life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we can almost taste the rich aroma wafting through those lively streets—a sensory journey into another world captured forever on paper.
