EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-150169-0000" offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Taken between 1870 and 1890, it portrays a young coloured man from the province of Orano in Algeria. The subject's striking portrait captures his unique ethnic heritage and traditional attire. Dressed in an elaborate costume, this young man showcases the rich fashion and clothing of his culture. A finely tailored waistcoat adorns his torso, complementing his overall ensemble. Every detail is meticulously captured, including the intricate accessories that embellish his outfit. The subject's hairdo and hairstyle reflect both style and tradition. His carefully arranged locks are a testament to the importance placed on personal appearance within his community. This portrait not only provides insight into individual identity but also sheds light on broader historical contexts. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the history of contemporary nations like Algeria and their diverse populations. Through its depiction of black Africans and negroid populations, this photograph becomes an important anthropological artifact. It contributes to our understanding of ethnicity, nationality, anthropology, ethnography, folklore – all crucial aspects of human society. Although we do not know who exactly took this photograph due to its unidentified authorship by Alinari Studios (not related to any company), its significance remains undiminished. This powerful image invites us to explore the complexities of cultural diversity while appreciating the beauty found within different traditions around the world.
