EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Moorish man in Algiers, Algeria during the 19th century. Dressed in a traditional turban, jacket, and culottes, he exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. With his cane held firmly in hand, he walks with purpose through the streets of Algiers. The Moors were descendants of ancient Mauritania and Numidia, representing a rich history that is deeply rooted in North Africa. This image serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and contribution to Arab civilization. Handcoloured by T. S. , this woodcut engraving comes from Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World). Wahlens was actually Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer under a pseudonym; an esteemed writer and archivist with Belgium's Heraldic Department. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical depiction while showcasing the talent of both the photographer and engraver. The attention to detail highlights every intricate aspect - from the folds in his clothing to the texture on his turban. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, it serves as a reminder not only of Algerian culture but also pays homage to Belgian artistry. It stands as evidence that art transcends borders and allows us glimpses into different worlds throughout history.
