EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to Algeria in the late 19th century. The image showcases an Algerian woman gracefully seated on the floor, her arm delicately resting on a pile of cushions. Her serene expression and elegant posture exude both strength and tranquility. The photograph, taken by Veuve Plasse et Oberty after 1867, is part of their renowned Cities and Sites Cabinet Card Collection. The use of albumen printing technique adds a softness to the image, enhancing its timeless beauty. This portrait captures not only the physical beauty of the Algerian woman but also provides us with a glimpse into her culture and way of life. Her traditional attire reflects her heritage while simultaneously showcasing intricate patterns and vibrant colors. It is worth noting that this particular print was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle Paris in 1867, where it received well-deserved recognition for its artistic merit. Its inclusion in Veuve Plasse et Oberty's Portrait Album further solidifies its significance as a treasured piece of photographic history. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also acknowledge the rich cultural tapestry it represents - an ode to Algeria's past and an everlasting testament to human resilience and dignity.
