EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the lively entertainment of two young boxers, Owen and Dade, at the renowned Ezbekieh Gardens in Cairo, Egypt during the 1910s. The boys, billed as 'The Suffolk Midgets,' engage in a playful sparring match under the watchful eye of their Master of Ceremonies, Sergeant Chase. The serene gardens, known locally as Esbekieh, Ezbekiya, Azbakeya, or Azbakia, provide a picturesque backdrop for this impromptu boxing exhibition. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation, as onlookers gather to witness the boys' agility and skill. The boys, dressed in simple shorts and barefoot, display their athleticism and determination as they exchange blows. The Master of Ceremonies, Sergeant Chase, adds to the festivities with his animated commentary, encouraging the crowd and keeping the energy high. The photographer, K. Bolam, skillfully captures the spirit of this unique moment in time. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the entertainment that drew visitors to its vibrant cities. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of boxing and the human spirit, as well as the joy and camaraderie that can be found in the most unexpected places.
