EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the year 1900 in Keren, Eritrea. The image showcases "The canteen of the Commissioner Officer and of the Officers of Administration" providing a glimpse into the lives of those who served their country during this era. Intriguingly, amidst the backdrop of military uniforms and stern faces, an unexpected sight steals our attention - two ostriches gracefully standing nearby. These magnificent birds add an element of curiosity to the scene, reminding us that even within strict military structures, nature's wonders can still find their place. The composition reveals a group portrait featuring soldiers and officers gathered around a small table. Each individual is dressed impeccably in their uniform, exuding both authority and pride. Their attire not only represents fashion and clothing styles prevalent at that time but also symbolizes their commitment to duty. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that it holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It offers glimpses into Eritrea's rich history as well as its diverse population with mentions of Black Africans and Negroid populations. Furthermore, this photograph serves as a testament to the importance placed on camaraderie among armed forces personnel. The unity displayed by these men reflects their shared purpose and dedication towards serving their nation. Ultimately, this print from Alinari encapsulates much more than meets the eye. It tells stories about work ethic, vocation choices within military life while shedding light on cultural aspects such as ethnic traditions prevalent in Eritrea during that period. Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance for generations to come.
