EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented artist John Evan Hodgson in 1875, takes us back to a bustling barbershop in Tunis. Stepping into this 19th-century North African establishment, we are transported to a time when men gathered not only for grooming but also for lively conversations and gossip. The image showcases an intricately designed interior with wooden screens adorning the walls, creating an atmosphere of privacy amidst the busy shop. A barber is seen attentively shaving the head of a customer, his bald scalp glistening under the warm light filtering through from outside. The man's headdress, adorned with piercings and wrapped in a turban, adds to the rich cultural tapestry depicted here. In this snapshot of daily life in Tunisia during that era, we witness both occupation and camaraderie. The barber's skilled hands reflect his profession while also serving as a catalyst for social interaction among patrons. This scene embodies Orientalism - depicting Arab culture through Western eyes - prevalent during that period. Hodgson's masterful engraving technique captures every intricate detail with precision, bringing this historical moment vividly to life once more. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry today, it serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving world and how traditions like barbershops continue to shape communities across continents and generations.
