EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Departure of the Moors of Algiers, following the colonization of the French, 19th century" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Taken from Leone Galibert's volume 2 of "Storia d Algeri" published in 1847, this engraving showcases an unknown artist's talent and captures the essence of colonialism. In this image, we witness a poignant scene at a harbor in North Africa. A barque stands ready to sail as exiled Moors bid farewell to their beloved homeland. The impact of French colonization is evident as these proud Algerians embark on their journey towards an uncertain future. The composition skillfully portrays the emotions associated with exile and displacement. The vibrant colors add depth to the narrative, highlighting both hope and despair that accompany such forced departures. This artwork serves as a reminder of Arab civilization's struggle during this tumultuous period. Preserved within a private collection by Stefano Bianchetti, this historical artifact represents more than just an artistic masterpiece; it symbolizes resilience and resistance against oppression. It invites us to reflect upon the complex relationship between colonizers and colonized peoples while honoring those who fought for freedom. As we delve into its details, we are transported back to Algeria in the 19th century—a time when African nations were grappling with external forces seeking dominance over their lands. Through this photograph print, we gain insight into one chapter among many that shaped Algeria's rich history and cultural heritage
