EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Barbers shop in Cairo (engraving)" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Egypt. The image, captured by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices of this vibrant city. The scene depicts a traditional Egyptian barbershop, where an Arab customer sits comfortably on a wooden chair while being attended to by a skilled barber. The room is filled with intriguing details - from the ornate mirror hanging on the wall to the various tools and products neatly arranged on shelves. One cannot help but notice the meticulous attention given to every aspect of grooming, as evidenced by the barber's careful handling of his customer's moustache. This intimate moment between client and barber reflects not only personal care but also serves as a social gathering spot for men in Cairo. The engraving is part of "The Land of Pharaohs: Egypt and Sinai" collection by Reverend Samuel Manning, providing valuable insights into Egyptian culture during that era. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical artwork that showcases both artistic skill and cultural significance. As we observe this enchanting print, it transports us back in time and encourages us to reflect upon how traditions have evolved over centuries while reminding us of our shared human experiences across different cultures.
