EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the visit of Arab and Tunisian chiefs to France as part of Tsar Nicholas II's guard of honor. Taken in 1896, this engraving from "Le petit journal" showcases the esteemed leaders who were entrusted with protecting the Russian emperor during his stay in France. The image features Si Hamza, head of the Uleds sidi sheiks; Si Mohammed ben Gana, agha of the Zibans; Si Ferhat Mouly, caid of the Beni Maaida; Si Lakdan, agha of the Larbaa; as well as Si Ould, Si Amad, and Ali Bou Sliman. Dressed in their traditional costumes that exude elegance and cultural richness, these chiefs stand tall with pride while representing their respective communities. Their presence not only symbolizes diplomatic ties between Russia and Tunisia but also highlights the significance of Arab civilization on an international stage. The details captured by Leonard de Selva's lens offer us a glimpse into this historical event that brought together different cultures. As we admire this remarkable photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize moments that shape our understanding of global history. Through its monochromatic tones and intricate engravings, this print encapsulates both tradition and progressiveness - showcasing unity amidst diversity.
