EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captured in 1875 by an unidentified photographer is a souvenir of Odoardo Beccari's journeys through Egypt. The image features a young Egyptian man holding a sabre, showcasing the traditional weaponry and military attire of the time. The man exudes strength and masculinity as he confidently poses for the camera, his turban adding to his regal appearance.
The print on double-weight paper beautifully preserves this snapshot of history, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the intricate details of the man's clothing and accessories. From his armor to his saber, every element tells a story of tradition and heritage.
As we study this portrait, we are transported back to 1875 Egypt, where populations of mixed origins coexisted in harmony. The man's mulatto features hint at the diversity present in Egyptian society during that era.
This photograph not only serves as a visual record of military life in Egypt but also offers valuable insights into anthropology and ethnography. It captures not just an individual but a whole culture steeped in rich traditions and customs.
Thanks to Alinari Archives in Florence for preserving this piece of history, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance even today.
