EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the French Occupation of Tunis, specifically at the Tomb of Sidi es Saheb (My Lord the Companion) in Kairwan. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the architectural beauty and cultural significance of this mausoleum. The image transports us back to a time when Tunisia was under French rule, providing a glimpse into how foreign powers influenced and shaped local landscapes. The tomb itself stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and religious reverence. The intricate details depicted in this engraving highlight the craftsmanship that went into constructing such sacred spaces. Every line etched on paper tells a story of devotion and respect for Sidi es Saheb, whose presence is felt even through this visual representation. As we delve deeper into this historical scene, it becomes evident that this artwork originally served as an illustration for The Graphic publication on December 31st, 1881. It is fascinating to consider how these engravings were disseminated during that era to inform readers about global events. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable piece without any commercial restrictions. This allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its contribution to our understanding of past civilizations and their interactions with colonial powers like France.
