In the world of antiques, the significance of a simple cup of coffee transcends its humble origins. It serves as a conduit for connection, knowledge, and mutual appreciation, enriching the journey of discovering and valuing treasured artifacts.
This historic postcard showcases an Arab well, or Pozzo Arabo, in Tripoli, Libya. The scene illustrates a traditional water-drawing system, featuring a donkey used to power the pulley that lifts water from the well, a technique common across North African and Middle Eastern regions. Wells like these were essential in arid areas, providing vital access to water for communities, agriculture, and livestock.
The reverse side of the postcard remains unused, with typical address and correspondence fields. It is marked with the publication information, "Foto Edizione Atton, Suk El Turk 117 - Tripoli."
