Egypt Pickpocket Stealing Handkerchief Fortune Teller Studio Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a staged studio scene, or tableau, from Port Said, Egypt. A man in a tweed cap is distracted by a fortune teller while an accomplice steals a handkerchief from his pocket. These types of 'Orientalist' scenes, often created by photographers like Hippolyte Arnoux for the tourist trade, were popular in the late 19th century and depicted romanticized or humorous vignettes of local life.
