EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Spahis, an Indian cavalry corps of the French army, composed mainly of skilled Arab horsemen. Trained specifically for the province of Algiers in 1834, d Oran in 1836, and Bone in 1835, this image is taken from "L'Algerie ancienne et moderne" by Leon Galibert in 1844. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of these brave soldiers who played a significant role during colonial times. The engraving depicts a group of Spahis mounted on their majestic horses, exuding strength and power. Their military uniforms are meticulously detailed, showcasing their allegiance to France while still honoring their Arab heritage. Armed with guns held firmly in their hands, they represent both protection and authority. This historical photograph transports us back to a time when North Africa was under French rule. It highlights the complex dynamics between colonial powers and indigenous cultures during that era. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection has preserved this remarkable piece which sheds light on the rich history of Algeria and its people. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of the diverse influences that have shaped our world throughout centuries past.
