EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print, titled "Fellah Woman and Child" by Charles Bour in 1848, offers a glimpse into the lives of peasant farmers in Egypt and the Middle East during the 19th century. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this Fellah woman and her child, showcasing their traditional dress and cultural identity. The image portrays a young woman standing proudly with her veiled face partially hidden behind a delicate fabric. Her eyes reflect resilience despite living in poverty-stricken conditions. Beside her stands an innocent child, perhaps her daughter, peering curiously at the viewer. Their attire signifies their Islamic faith as well as their connection to the land they work on. Bour's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his lithograph - from the intricate patterns on their garments to the jar held firmly by the woman's side. This pot symbolizes not only their daily struggle for sustenance but also highlights their expertise in ceramics. As we admire this historical artwork from Emile Prisse d'Avennes' book "The Valley of Nile" it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and geographical boundaries. Through this image, we gain insight into North African culture while acknowledging these hardworking individuals who played an integral role in shaping agricultural practices within their country.
