EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the bustling streets of Cairo, Egypt during the 1910s. At the heart of the scene is an Arab nougat seller, skillfully cutting and serving his delicious sweets to a familiar customer - a policeman. The policeman, dressed in his traditional Egyptian uniform, leans over the seller's table, engaging in a friendly conversation as he makes his purchase. The seller, with a proud and confident expression, expertly wields his large scissors, ready to create the perfect piece of nougat for his customer. The scene unfolds on a busy street, with passersby glancing curiously at the transaction taking place. The seller's table is laden with an array of colorful sweets, enticing the taste buds of those who walk by. The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, as the aroma of the nougat and other confectionary treats wafts through the air. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of Egypt during the early 20th century. The presence of the policeman adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting that this seller was a known figure in the community and perhaps even had a special relationship with the local law enforcement. The image invites us to imagine the stories and connections that existed between the seller and his customers, as well as the larger community in which they lived.
