EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time on board the Hatasoo steamboat, sailing along the majestic River Nile in Egypt. The year is 1898, and amidst the backdrop of this historic paddle steamer, we see a man engrossed in his own world as he indulges in smoking a water pipe. Dressed in traditional Egyptian robes and adorned with a turban atop his head, this gentleman exudes an air of mystery and cultural richness. His relaxed posture suggests that he is at ease, finding solace within the rhythmic motion of the boat and the tranquil surroundings of one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks. The image not only showcases transportation during this era but also provides us with glimpses into Egyptian customs and attire. The intricate details captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers through his lithograph bring to life the essence of 19th-century Egypt. As we gaze upon this print from "Rund um die Erde" written and illustrated by C. W. Allers, our imagination takes flight. We can almost smell the sweet aroma wafting from his water pipe as it intertwines with the gentle breeze coming off the river. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of how art can transport us across continents and centuries, allowing us to appreciate different cultures while preserving moments that would otherwise be lost to history.
