EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A dragoman" takes us back to the 19th century in Egypt. The image showcases a scene from Stanley Lane-Poole's book, "Social Life in Egypt" providing a vivid description of the country and its people during that era. In this illustration, we see an English School's interpretation of a dragoman, who served as an interpreter or guide for foreigners visiting Egypt. The intricate details captured by the engraver transport us to another time and place, allowing us to catch a glimpse of life in this fascinating North African country. The artist skillfully portrays the essence of Egyptian culture through their depiction of the dragoman. Dressed in traditional attire with elaborate headwear and garments adorned with intricate patterns, he exudes elegance and sophistication. His posture suggests confidence and knowledge as he stands amidst his surroundings. Through this print, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within Egypt's borders. It serves as a window into an era when explorers sought to unravel the mysteries hidden within ancient ruins while being guided by knowledgeable locals like this dragoman. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a remarkable piece from their collection that not only captivates our eyes but also transports our minds to distant lands and times long gone.
