Hilda writing home (17.2.1922, Drower 2004: 209):
“Aly Swefy is here, one of our best old hands. Being a fisherman, he has a little rough boat below here, and rushes off sometimes to catch a fish.”
Portraits and Excavation. Images of Flinders Petrie and the Egyptian workforce from within the archives of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
The impression of the fishing net just thrown and the shades produced by the soft light of what it could be a dawn or a sunset are fantastic.
