EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Coffee seller in Jerusalem" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Palestine. Taken by Bonfils Studio, a renowned French photography studio of that era, this image captures a slice of daily life in Jerusalem between 1867 and 1881. In the heart of this vibrant scene stands a coffee seller, his traditional dress reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East. With an assortment of cups neatly arranged before him, he skillfully prepares aromatic brews for his customers. The aroma wafts through the air as patrons eagerly await their turn to savor this beloved beverage. The backdrop showcases ancient walls that have witnessed centuries of history unfold within Jerusalem's narrow streets. Customers can be seen crouching nearby, engaged in animated conversations while enjoying their drinks. This candid snapshot offers us a glimpse into the social fabric and communal spirit that thrived during those times. As we admire this remarkable photograph from the Palestine Exploration Fund's collection, it serves as a visual time capsule connecting us to an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us how simple moments like sharing a cup of coffee can bridge cultures and transcend time itself. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece with utmost care so that we may continue to appreciate its historical significance today. Let it transport you to another world - one where tradition meets modernity on the lively streets of old Jerusalem.
