EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Doseh Ceremony, an intriguing ethnographic event that took place in the heart of Cairo, Egypt during the late 1880s. The image, taken by the renowned Pascal Sebah Studio, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of this historic city during the 19th century. The Khedive, the ruling monarch of Egypt at that time, is depicted riding his horse over the prostrate bodies of the faithful, a practice that was a significant part of this traditional ceremony. The ceremony, which was banned in the late 1880s, was believed to bring blessings and good fortune to the people. The photograph captures the vibrant urban landscape of Cairo, with its unique blend of indigenous architecture and European influences. The grandeur of the Khedive's horse and the simple attire of the prostrate faithful highlight the stark contrast between the ruling elite and the indigenous population. The photograph also showcases the intricate details of the city's landmarks and structures, including the ornate buildings and the bustling streets. The image offers a fascinating insight into the ethnic and cultural diversity of Egypt during this era, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historic photographs. The Pascal Sebah Studio, a leading photography studio of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was known for its high-quality archival prints. This photograph, with its exceptional clarity and detail, is a testament to the studio's expertise and commitment to preserving the history and culture of Egypt during this fascinating era.
