Features an actress bearing down the oar of a boat on the Nile, with feluccas and the river behind her. Unlike covers that place water as the backdrop, this photograph intentionally positions the actress in direct physical interplay with the Nile. She is captured in motion, while the river and boat remain stationary.

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