EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a snake charmer in the vibrant city of Tunis, Tunisia, circa 1899. The nineteenth century comes alive in this beautifully coloured, picturesque photograph, as the charmer skillfully handles a cobra, its hooded head poised and ready to strike. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling marketplace, with onlookers gathered in awe and curiosity. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing coloured photographs during this era, adds an extra layer of nostalgia and historical authenticity to the image. The charmer's traditional attire and the intricately patterned textiles and pottery in the marketplace transport us back to a time when Tunis was a thriving hub of trade and cultural exchange. This image is not only a testament to the rich history and heritage of Tunisia but also a reminder of the human connection to the natural world and the art of storytelling through performance.
