Bizerta, viewed from the Kasbah, c1890 - A Glimpse into 19th Century Tunisian Port Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Bertrand takes us back in time to the bustling port of Bizerta in North Africa during the late 19th century. The image offers a panoramic view from the Kasbah, showcasing a vibrant scene filled with historical landmarks and maritime activity. The fortified castle stands proudly on the coast, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its imposing presence serves as a reminder of Bizerta's strategic importance as a trading hub and naval base. Alongside it, we see an array of boats and ships gracefully navigating through calm waters - dhows, feluccas, and other watercraft that were integral to transportation at that time. The quayside is abuzz with activity as merchants unload goods from these vessels while locals go about their daily routines. The buildings lining the waterfront exude charm and character, reflecting both European influences and traditional Tunisian architecture. Bertrand's engraving skillfully captures this dynamic landscape with intricate details that bring every element to life. From distant hills to finely etched waves crashing against stone walls, each stroke adds depth to this remarkable portrayal of Bizerta's past. As we gaze upon this historical gem preserved through time, we are transported back to an era where trade thrived amidst stunning natural beauty. This print not only showcases Bizerta's geographical features but also provides us with a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage
