The image captures the essence of life on the bustling streets of Tunis during the mid-19th century. The drawing, skillfully crafted by Gaildreau and engraved in "Le Monde Illustre" nA'86 on December 11th, 1858, offers a glimpse into the diverse tapestry that was North Africa at that time. It showcases various types of dervishes or beggars who roamed these vibrant streets. Each figure depicted tells its own story - from their attire to their expressions. This snapshot is not just an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document shedding light on the social fabric and religious practices prevalent in Tunisia during this period.

Stefano Bianchetti's private collection preserves this valuable piece of history for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it reminds us of the rich cultural heritage found within Africa's northern region known as Maghreb. Let this image transport you back in time to experience firsthand what life was like for these beggars in Tunis over 160 years ago – an evocative testament to resilience and faith against
