EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tunis, Jewish Coppersmith" takes us back to the early 20th century in North Africa. The image showcases a skilled artisan at work, capturing the essence of picturesque Tunis. The coppersmith's hands are deftly maneuvering metal, creating intricate designs that reflect his craftsmanship and dedication to his trade. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this photograph was originally published in Ernst Wasmuth's book "Picturesque North Africa" in 1925. The gravure-printed image exudes a timeless charm that transports viewers to a different era. The credit for this stunning capture goes to Lehnert and Landrock, renowned photographers based in Cairo during that time. Their expertise is evident as they skillfully frame the coppersmith amidst his tools and materials. This print is part of a private collection and is now out of copyright. It serves as a visual reminder of the rich cultural heritage found within Tunisia's Jewish community and their contributions to metalwork. Bridgeman Images has made this remarkable piece available through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance. Whether you're drawn to the beauty of traditional craftsmanship or fascinated by glimpses into past cultures, this photograph offers an intriguing window into both.
