EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Rue Djemaa el-Kitoun in Tunis, Tunisia, circa 1910s. The photograph, part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to explore the rich history and vibrant culture of this North African city. Rue Djemaa el-Kitoun, or the Street of the Potters, is a bustling and colorful thoroughfare in the heart of Tunis' Old City. In this photograph, we see horse-drawn carts and pedestrians navigating the narrow, cobblestone street, surrounded by traditional Tunisian houses with intricately decorated doors and windows. The warm, golden light filters through the arches and balconies, casting long shadows on the ground. At the center of the scene, a group of men gather around a table, engaged in animated conversation. A woman in a flowing, patterned robe and headscarf passes by, carrying a large basket on her head. In the background, the iconic dome of the Mosque of Zitouna can be seen, a testament to Tunisia's rich Islamic heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the unique character and charm of Tunisian life over a century ago. It invites us to imagine the sounds, smells, and sensations of this vibrant and historic city, and to appreciate the enduring beauty and resilience of its people and culture.
