EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Cairo in the early 20th century. Taken from the book "Afrika, Dets Opdagelse, Erobring Og Kolonisation" published in Copenhagen in 1901, this image showcases a mounted Mamluk warrior. The Mamluks were an elite group of slave soldiers who rose to power during Egypt's medieval period. Renowned for their exceptional horsemanship and military prowess, they played a significant role in shaping Egypt's history. This photograph captures one such Mamluk on horseback, exuding strength and dignity. Dressed in traditional attire with intricate armor and weaponry adorning his person, the Mamluk cuts an impressive figure against the backdrop of Cairo's vibrant streets. The horse beneath him seems equally majestic as it carries its rider through the city with grace. The photographer skillfully captures not only the physical presence of this mounted warrior but also offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. Through this image, we are transported to a time when Cairo was at its zenith - a melting pot of cultures where African influences merged seamlessly with Egyptian traditions. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty captured within this single frame. It serves as a reminder that even today, centuries later, these remarkable individuals continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for their contributions to Egyptian society.
