Pictured: A cover of Al-Kawakib features an actress holding the oar of a Nile boat, with feluccas and the river behind her. Unlike covers that feature water as the backdrop, this image places the actress in direct physical interplay with the Nile. She is captured in motion, while the river and boat are stationary.

This issue was published during the mid-1950s at the height of Nasser's nationalist cultural project.
