EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and colorful Street of the Ouled Nail women in the ancient Algerian city of Biskra, circa 1890. The Ouled Nail are a Berber tribe, known for their distinctive traditional dress and intricate body art. In this image, we see a bustling street filled with women of the Ouled Nail tribe, each adorned with elaborate silver jewelry, intricate tattoos, and vividly colored clothing. Their faces are painted with henna and their hair is styled in elaborate braids and coils. The women are shown going about their daily business, haggling at the market, socializing, and caring for their children. The scene is lively and full of energy, with the sun casting long shadows on the sandy streets. In the background, we can see the red cliffs and palm trees that characterize the Biskra landscape. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Ouled Nail women during a time when their culture was undergoing significant change. The French colonization of Algeria had begun in the late 19th century, and the influence of Western culture was beginning to impact traditional Berber practices. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Algeria and the resilience of its people in the face of outside influence. The Street of the Ouled Nail women in Biskra remains a popular tourist destination today, and visitors can still experience the vibrant energy and color of this unique community. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
