EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled 'Egyptian Farmer Threshing with Oxen,' is an intriguing depiction of agricultural life in Egypt during the early 19th century. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen between 1835 and 1840. The Egyptian farmer in the print is shown expertly maneuvering a threshing machine, a technological innovation that was becoming increasingly popular during this period. The machine, pulled by two strong oxen, is used to separate the grain from the chaff after the harvest. The farmer's attire, consisting of a simple white robe and a turban, is typical of the traditional Egyptian peasant costume. Surrounding the farmer are sacks filled with produce, such as wheat, barley, and other grains, which have been freshly harvested. A grocer, dressed in a long robe and a fez, is shown in the foreground, likely purchasing the produce from the farmer for sale in the local market. This print is an invaluable ethnographic and anthropological resource, providing insight into the customs, costumes, and daily life of the Egyptian people during a significant historical period. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating and visually stunning representation of Egyptian agricultural life.
