EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Preparation of hibiscus near Cheren in Eritrea" transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a scene rich with cultural significance and historical context. Taken between 1916 and 1936, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous Africans in Eritrea. In this photograph, we witness a group of black Africans engaging in the preparation of hibiscus. The meticulousness and concentration on their faces reveal the importance placed on this task within their diet or perhaps for medicinal purposes. It is through such scenes that we can delve deeper into understanding the history of ancient populations and their relationship with nature's offerings. The subjects' physical features suggest they belong to negroid populations, highlighting the diversity within Africa itself. This photograph serves as an invaluable resource for anthropologists, ethnographers, and folklorists interested in studying different African cultures. Furthermore, it sheds light on Eritrea's population and nationality during that period. While taken by an unidentified author from Alinari, its historical value cannot be understated as it contributes to our collective knowledge about this region's past. As we admire this striking image today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its ability to transport us across time and space. It reminds us of the resilience and industriousness exhibited by these individuals who worked diligently to sustain themselves amidst challenging circumstances.
