"Kairo, Marchands Ambulants" is a notable photograph taken by Jean Pascal Sébah, a prominent photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his work in the Ottoman Empire. The photograph captures the essence of street life in Cairo (Kairo), Egypt, focusing on the itinerant vendors (marchands ambulants) who were a common sight in the city's bustling markets and thoroughfares.

Jean Pascal Sébah, born in 1872, was the son of the famous photographer Pascal Sébah who established a studio in Istanbul in 1857. After his father's death, Jean Pascal took over the studio and continued the family tradition of photography, expanding the business and gaining international recognition. He collaborated with his brother-in-law, Policarpe Joaillier, and together they produced a vast array of images that documented the cultural and social aspects of the Ottoman Empire, including landscapes, portraits, and scenes of everyday life.

"Kairo, Marchands Ambulants" is representative of Sébah's work in its ethnographic detail and artistic composition. The photograph not only serves as a historical record of Cairo's street vendors but also reflects the broader 19th-century interest in Orientalism and the Western fascination with the "exotic" cultures of the East. Sébah's photographs were highly sought after by tourists and collectors who desired a glimpse into the diverse lifestyles and customs of the region.

The image is characterized by its sharp focus and depth of field, which allows viewers to observe the intricate details of the vendors' attire and merchandise. The composition is carefully arranged to convey the dynamic nature of the marketplace, with the vendors positioned to lead the viewer's eye through the scene. Sébah's skillful use of natural light and shadow adds to the photograph's dramatic effect, emphasizing the textures and patterns present in the scene.

"Kairo, Marchands Ambulants" has been featured in various exhibitions and publications on Middle Eastern photography and remains an important work for understanding the historical context of Cairo's urban environment at the turn of the century. It is also a testament to the artistic legacy of J. Pascal Sébah, whose contributions to the field of photography have been recognized both in his time and by contemporary scholars.
