EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from the 19th century captures a scene of Muslim dervishes roaming and begging on the streets of North Africa circa 1800. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of these wandering mystics, known for their ascetic practices and devotion to Islam. The dervishes are depicted in traditional costumes, with musical instruments in hand as they journey through the bustling streets. A drum and tambourine accompany them, adding a sense of rhythm to their nomadic existence. The intricate details of their attire and instruments speak to the rich cultural heritage of the region. As beggars and vagabonds, these dervishes rely on the generosity of others for sustenance as they travel from place to place. Their presence adds an air of mystery and spirituality to this North African street scene, highlighting the diversity and complexity of Arab civilization. Through this historical print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a reminder of the enduring traditions and customs that have shaped Muslim communities in North Africa for centuries.
