EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the popular costumes of Algeria and Tunisia, as depicted in "Le costume historique" by Racinet in 1876. The unknown artist beautifully captures the essence of North African culture through this chromolithography chromo. In the image, we see a young girl from North Africa adorned in traditional attire, exuding elegance and grace. Her veiled companion stands beside her, representing the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia. This snapshot offers a glimpse into Arab civilization and highlights the distinct fashion styles prevalent in these regions during the 19th century. The photographer Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured every intricate detail of their garments, allowing us to appreciate their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The girl's ensemble reflects Algerian traditions while incorporating elements unique to Maghreb culture. This print serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on Algeria's and Tunisia's sartorial customs during this period. It is a testament to Africa's diverse heritage and celebrates its rich tapestry of cultures. As part of a private collection, this artwork reminds us of our collective responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations. Its availability out of copyright ensures wider access to this visual representation of African history.
