EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-158612-0000" we are transported back in time to Algeria around the year 1900. The image, captured by Emile Frechon, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this North African nation. The focal point of the photograph is a masculine figure dressed in traditional Algerian attire. His clothing exudes elegance and sophistication, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors that were characteristic of fashion during that era. The man's outfit reflects his ethnic background, highlighting the diversity and uniqueness of Algerian culture. One cannot help but notice his footwear - a pair of beautifully crafted shoes that perfectly complement his ensemble. These accessories not only serve as functional items but also add an extra touch of style to complete his look. This photograph provides valuable insights into non-Christian religions practiced in Algeria at the time. It sheds light on black Africans and negroid populations who were part of its diverse population and nationality. Through anthropological lenses, it becomes evident how clothing choices can be deeply intertwined with one's identity, ethnicity, and religious beliefs. Emile Frechon's skillful composition captures not just an individual but also tells a broader story about anthropology, ethnography, folklore prevalent within Algerian society during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation let us appreciate it for what it truly represents – a visual testament to Algeria's rich history and cultural tapestry that continues to inspire fascination even today.
