Battage du ble dans les Zibans; Afrique du Nord, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the rural countryside of Algeria during the early 20th century. The image, captured by an unknown photographer for the French publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the daily life of the Ziban people, who were primarily Arab farmers living in the North African region. The photograph depicts a group of men and women, dressed in traditional attire, engaged in the labor-intensive process of threshing wheat. The scene is set against a backdrop of palm trees and rolling hills, with horses and oxen providing the necessary power to turn the threshing sledges. The contrast between the rustic rural setting and the modern agricultural tools, such as the metal threshing sledges, adds to the intrigue of the image. The women, dressed in flowing robes and headscarves, expertly separate the wheat grains from the chaff using long sticks, while the men operate the horses and oxen. The sense of community and cooperation is palpable as the group works together to bring in the harvest. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of North Africa and the resilience of its people. It also highlights the intersection of traditional farming practices and the introduction of modern technology during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of rural life and the importance of agriculture in shaping the cultural fabric of the region.
