EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a lively scene of Berber musicians and comedians, a common sight in the courts of the Bey of Tunis during the early 19th century. The musicians, dressed in traditional attire, are skillfully playing a variety of instruments, including tabi drums, cymbals, Taghanimt flutes, and nafir horns. Their faces are focused and intense as they create a rhythmic symphony that resonated through the palaces and streets of Tunisia. In the foreground, comedians, known as Saitari, entertain the crowd with their antics. They wear tall, conical hats that add to their exaggerated and humorous appearance. The Saitari were an essential part of Berber culture and were often invited to perform at royal events and celebrations. Their comedic skits and satirical commentary provided a welcome relief from the formalities of court life. This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Rinaldo Nanini Faentino and published in Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World in 1834, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Tunisia during this period. The intricate details of the musicians' and comedians' costumes, as well as the lively expressions on their faces, transport us back in time and allow us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Berber traditions.
