EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Ouled Nail dancing girls, members of a desert Arab tribe in Algeria. Taken in February 1920, this monochrome image showcases two young women adorned in traditional costumes and headdresses, exuding beauty and grace. The intricate details of their attire are highlighted by the contrast between light and shadow. The Ouled Nail tribe is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, particularly their belly dance tradition. Passed down through generations, this ancient art form embodies both elegance and sensuality. As seen in this portrait, these talented dancers captivate with their poised expressions and confident postures. Notably, the costume worn by each girl is embellished with coins that symbolize wealth within their community. These shimmering adornments create an enchanting visual spectacle as they move to the rhythm of music during performances. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into a time when tribal traditions were cherished and celebrated. It serves as a testament to the resilience and preservation of Berber tribal culture amidst changing times. Preserved by Central News' archives, this image from Europeana Photography allows us to appreciate the timeless beauty of these Ouled Nail dancing girls while honoring their contribution to Algerian history.
