EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Kabyles Woman, Algeria, 1922" takes us back to a bygone era in North Africa. The artist behind this mesmerizing portrait is Crete, whose talent for capturing the essence of his subjects shines through. The image showcases a Kabyles woman dressed in traditional robes that drape gracefully around her body. Her posture exudes confidence and allure as she delicately places one hand on her head. With a direct gaze that pierces through the lens, she invites us into her world. In her other hand, she holds a jug, symbolizing the daily rituals and responsibilities of life in Algeria during the early 20th century. The contrast between her striking features and the simplicity of her surroundings adds depth to this thought-provoking composition. Crete's attention to detail brings out every nuance of this woman's beauty - from the intricate patterns on her robe to the subtle curves of her face. This evocative portrayal captures not only an individual but also reflects upon the rich cultural heritage of Kabyles women in Algeria. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of their resilience and strength amidst societal norms. It serves as a testament to their contribution to Algerian society while challenging conventional notions about femininity at that time. This remarkable piece is part of "Peoples of All Nations: Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past" edited by JA Hammerton - an invaluable collection preserving diverse cultures for generations
