EDITORS COMMENTS
PDC-F-002383-0000: The remains of the ancient port of the city of Kbilly (today Kebili), in Tunisia. This photo print, taken by Tuminello Fotografia from Alinari, transports us back to a time when the bustling city of Kbilly thrived as a prominent port in ancient Tunisia. Dating back to around 1870-1880, this image captures the essence and rich history of this once-flourishing urban center. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our eyes are drawn to the remnants of an impressive gateway that stands proudly amidst a backdrop of lush palm trees and vibrant vegetation. These natural elements beautifully frame the architectural structure, which serves as a testament to the advanced engineering skills possessed by Arab Berbers who inhabited this region centuries ago. The presence of Negroid populations further highlights the diverse cultural tapestry that characterized Kbilly during its heyday. This photograph not only offers insights into archeological excavations but also provides valuable glimpses into anthropology, ethnography, and folklore associated with these communities. Through this lens captured by Tuminello Fotografia from Alinari, we can almost hear echoes from a distant past - whispers carried on warm desert winds telling tales about trade routes and maritime activities that once animated these shores. It is an invitation for us to delve deeper into history's mysteries and appreciate how civilizations have shaped landscapes over time. While admiring this extraordinary piece, let us remember its significance lies beyond commercial use; it is an invaluable artifact preserving memories etched within each pixel—a visual portal connecting us with humanity's collective heritage.
