EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1870, transports us back in time to the heart of Egypt during the 1870s. The image showcases a traditional horse-drawn carriage, locally known as a "Sais Courant," making its way through the bustling streets of this ancient land. Two white horses, harnessed in a smart pair, pull the carriage with an air of elegance and power. The carriage itself is adorned with intricate details, reflecting the rich history and culture of Egypt. Two attentive attendants, dressed in traditional Egyptian garb, accompany the carriage. One attendant walks alongside, holding a long whip, ready to ensure a smooth journey for the passengers. The other attendant, the driver, sits atop the carriage, skillfully guiding the horses with reins in hand. His intense focus and commanding presence add to the sense of adventure and excitement. The horses, strong and proud, seem to relish the opportunity to pull the carriage through the vibrant North African landscape. The scene is a testament to the enduring tradition of horse-drawn transportation in Egypt, which continued well into the 20th century. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the daily life and transportation methods of Egypt during a time of great historical significance.
