EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of cultural tradition and unity during a grand open-air festival in Algeria, circa 1912. The scene is set against a backdrop of the North African landscape, with the sun casting long shadows over the undulating terrain. At the heart of the gathering are the Sheiks, local leaders and spiritual guides, dressed in flowing robes and headdresses, their faces adorned with intricate patterns of henna. Surrounding them are the Goums, mounted contingents of Arab and Berber horsemen, their faces resolute and proud as they prepare for the upcoming ceremony or celebration. The Goums, an essential part of Algerian society, were renowned for their horsemanship and military prowess. They served as auxiliaries to the French colonial forces, but also played a significant role in maintaining social order and upholding traditional values within their communities. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the rhythms of daily life were shaped by the ebb and flow of the seasons and the traditions of the past. The Sheiks and Goums, with their proud bearing and deep connection to the land, embody the resilience and strength of the Algerian people, a testament to their rich cultural heritage.
