EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Embarrassed in Teboursouk Souk Street" takes us back to the bustling streets of Tunisia in the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Eugene Girardet, beautifully captures a vibrant street scene filled with African population going about their daily lives. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness a peculiar incident that has left one individual feeling immensely embarrassed. Amidst the chaos of market stalls and busy shoppers, a cow has somehow managed to find its way into the crowded street. Its presence causes quite a stir among the locals who are taken aback by this unexpected visitor. The artist's attention to detail allows us to observe various reactions from different people within the scene. Some onlookers appear amused while others seem perplexed or even annoyed by this unusual occurrence. It is fascinating how such an ordinary event can evoke such strong emotions and create lasting memories. This engraving was originally commissioned as part of an archaeological mission led by Edouard Charton under the Ministry of Public Education in 1888. It served as an illustration for "Voyage en Tunisie" a story written by R. Cagnat and H. Saladin documenting their travels through Tunisia. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across time and cultures – moments that can both embarrass and entertain us simultaneously.
