EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Abd El Kader, a prominent figure in Algerian history. Born in 1808, he was not only an emir and sultan but also a Sufi theologian, politician, military resistance leader against the French colonial army, as well as a writer, poet, and philosopher. The engraving by E. Ronjat beautifully captures the essence of Abd El Kader's character and presence. His piercing gaze reflects wisdom beyond his years and determination to fight for his people's freedom from colonization. The intricate details of his traditional attire highlight his cultural heritage and symbolize his role as a respected leader. Commissioned to illustrate the story "La Syria d'aujourd'hui" by M. Lortet, dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Lyon on behalf of the Ministry of Public Education, this portrait holds historical significance within its context. Published in 1882 under Edouard Charton's direction in Paris' renowned magazine "Tour du monde" it aimed to shed light on Algeria's struggle for independence during that era. Preserved within the Selva Collection today, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into Abd El Kader's multifaceted persona—a man who dedicated himself not only to political resistance but also intellectual pursuits such as writing poetry and philosophy. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this momentous piece with great attention to detail while honoring its artistic value. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of Abd El Kader's enduring legacy as an influential figure in Algerian history whose contributions continue to inspire generations worldwide.
