EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph titled "Fantasia" offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Arab culture. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the intricate customs and traditions associated with various Arab peoples. The image is an illustration from Charles Delon's renowned book "Les Peuples de La Terre" published in 1891 by Hachette. It beautifully captures the vibrant essence of Arab civilization, depicting horsemen adorned in traditional attire engaging in a thrilling Fantasia performance. The lithograph not only provides insight into the ethnography of Arabs but also challenges certain stereotypes prevalent at that time. By showcasing different racial backgrounds within Africa, it highlights the continent's cultural diversity and dispels any generalizations about its people. The scene depicted takes us on a journey through Morocco and Sudan, two countries known for their strong ties to equestrianism and horsemanship. The riders' skillful maneuvers on their magnificent Arabian horses evoke admiration for both their physical prowess and deep connection with these majestic creatures. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the importance of understanding different cultures without falling prey to preconceived notions or biases. It serves as a visual reminder that our world is made up of countless unique societies whose behaviors should be celebrated rather than stereotyped. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while gaining valuable insights into Arab customs and African heritage.
