EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of a completely covered Arabian woman from Sfax, Tunisia, in North Africa, taken in the year 1915. The woman's attire is traditional Islamic dress, consisting of a voluminous cloak, or 'safsari,' and a veil, which conceals her face and hair. The intricate patterns and rich colors of her clothing reflect the vibrant cultural heritage of Tunisia. Sfax, a major port city located in the central western part of the country, has a rich history that spans over three thousand years. It has been influenced by various civilizations, including Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Ottomans, leaving an indelible mark on its architecture, art, and people. The Islamic faith, which arrived in Tunisia in the 7th century, has deeply influenced the daily lives of its people, particularly in the realm of dress. The veil and cloak are symbols of modesty and piety, and are worn by many Muslim women in Tunisia and other Islamic countries as a sign of respect for religious and cultural traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a Tunisian woman over a century ago. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of tradition and the resilience of cultural practices that have survived the test of time.
