EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Algerian culture in the early 1910s, as embodied by these two Moorish women in their traditional attire. The women, with their enchanting faces partially concealed by their voluminous garments, exude an air of mystery and allure. The Moorish people, also known as Berbers, have a rich and complex history in Algeria, dating back thousands of years. Their unique cultural traditions have been influenced by various civilizations, including Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Turks. The women in this photograph are dressed in the full covering garments that were once common in Algerian society. The garments consist of a long, flowing robe or cloak, known as a djellaba, which is worn over a tunic and trousers. A veil, or burqa, covers the head and face, leaving only the eyes visible. The women also wear intricately patterned shawls, or hmam, which are draped over their heads and shoulders, adding an extra layer of color and texture to their outfits. Despite the full covering, the women's expressions and body language convey a sense of grace and dignity. Their hands are adorned with intricate henna designs, adding to their beauty and allure. The photograph provides a glimpse into a bygone era, offering a window into the rich cultural traditions of Algeria and its Moorish people.
