EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Street Baker in Cairo, Egypt, circa 1910s, skillfully plying his trade in front of a stunning architectural backdrop. The baker, dressed in traditional attire, wears a pad on his head to support the transportation of his freshly baked goods. His folding trestle table, positioned in a prime spot, is set up in front of a beautiful window with intricate tracery screening and fantastic tiling. The architectural detail of the window, with its decorative arches and ornate patterns, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The baker's wares, including flatbreads and rolls, are neatly arranged on the table, ready for eager customers to purchase. The use of natural light streaming in through the window, combined with the warm hues of the tiling and the baker's traditional headwear, creates a captivating and timeless image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of North Africa, providing a window into the past and the daily life of a Street Baker in Cairo during the early 1900s.
