This photo print, titled "PDC-F-001960-0000" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of a dervish adorned in traditional ethnic clothing. Taken around 1889, this half-length portrait showcases the dervish holding a knotty stick in his left hand, exuding an air of mysticism and wisdom. The dervish's attire is rich with cultural significance and symbolism. His hat and headdress reflect elements from civilian, military, and religious traditions, highlighting the diverse influences that have shaped his identity. The intricate necklace adorning his neck adds an extra touch of elegance to his ensemble. Sebah & Joaillier masterfully captured not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this male figure. The photograph allows us to appreciate both the individuality of this person as well as their connection to broader non-Christian religions prevalent during that time. In addition to its anthropological value, this image provides valuable insights into ethnic traditions and folklore. It serves as a window into Arab Berbers' lives while also shedding light on Negroid populations' customs and identities. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait today, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever by Alinari's lens. This print stands as a testament to Sebah & Joaillier's exceptional artistry in capturing not just images but stories within them.
