EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Cairo, Egypt, during the late 19th century. The image showcases the magnificent Casino Kursaal, a popular entertainment venue that stood as a symbol of elegance and luxury in this ancient land. The photographer, an Egyptian artist from the 19th century whose name remains unknown, skillfully captured the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece. The Casino Kursaal stands proudly against the backdrop of Cairo's enchanting skyline, its ornate facade adorned with intricate details that reflect both Egyptian and European influences. The photograph has been beautifully hand-colored, adding a touch of vibrancy to every element within it. This technique was commonly employed during the early 20th century to bring life and depth to black-and-white images. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are transported into a world where Egypt's rich culture intertwines with modernity. It serves as a testament to Cairo's status as a cosmopolitan hub in North Africa at that time. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and was featured in a souvenir brochure on Egypt published by The Cairo Postcard Trust around 1905. Its inclusion provides us with valuable insight into how visitors experienced and perceived Egypt during this era. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also gain glimpses into daily life in historic Cairo - an invaluable window into our shared human history.
