EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in Algeria, specifically to a Kabyle family group. The image showcases the traditional costumes worn by both men and women of this North African community. Standing in front of a rustic wooden doorframe, the family exudes an air of pride and unity. The women are adorned with beautifully patterned dresses, while one lady holds a jar or amphora, perhaps symbolizing her role as caretaker within the household. A child can be seen peeking out from behind his mother's skirt, adding an element of innocence to the scene. The men stand tall beside their loved ones, donning traditional attire that reflects their cultural heritage. Their presence suggests strength and protection for their families. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in Algeria during this era. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across time and continents. Preserved through time by The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps publication from Virtue & Co Limited in London, this print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece created by an unknown artist, we are transported to another world where tradition meets modernity in perfect harmony.
