EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The French Occupation of Tunis, 'Zaouia', or College of the Aissawia, at Kairwan" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the colonial era. The image showcases the imposing Zaouia (college) located in Kairwan, Tunisia during the French occupation. The intricate details and architectural grandeur of this place of worship are beautifully captured. The viewer is transported to a time when cultures collided and empires expanded their influence. As we delve deeper into this artwork's historical context, it becomes clear that it was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on January 14th, 1882. This publication aimed to inform and educate its readers about global events and cultural landmarks. Today, this print serves as a valuable artifact from that period. It allows us to reflect on the complex dynamics between colonizers and colonized peoples while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece within their private collection, ensuring its availability for future generations to explore and learn from. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of both the beauty found in places like Kairwan's Zaouia and the historical narratives embedded within them.
