EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nubian Sakkieh, or Water Wheel, ca. 1856" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century North Africa. The creator, attributed to Robert Murray, skillfully captures the essence of this technological marvel known as the water wheel. The image showcases a magnificent wooden structure adorned with palm trees in Nubia, Egypt. This ingenious invention called the Nubian Sakkieh or Water Wheel was used for irrigation purposes during that era. Its Persian wheel design allowed it to efficiently draw water from the river and distribute it across nearby fields and plantations. The photograph not only highlights the impressive engineering feat but also emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and nature's beauty. The lush palms surrounding the wheel create a picturesque scene against the backdrop of flowing waters. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print serves as a testament to both British exploration in distant lands and technological advancements during that time period. It offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in history where innovation met geographical features seamlessly. As we admire this heritage art piece captured by Heritage Images, we are reminded of humanity's constant quest for progress while cherishing our natural surroundings.
