EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of traditional Tunisian attire and culture in the late 19th century. The two young colored ladies are elegantly dressed in wide-striped dresses that cover their heads, forming beautiful turbans. Their outfits are adorned with intricate embroidery, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of the time.
At their feet lies an amphora for water, a common vessel used for storing and transporting liquids in ancient times. This simple yet essential object adds a touch of authenticity to the scene, giving us a glimpse into everyday life in Tunisia during this period.
The photographer behind this stunning portrait remains unidentified, but their skill in capturing the beauty and grace of these young women is undeniable. The image not only serves as a visual record of fashion and style from over a century ago but also provides valuable insight into the cultural heritage of Tunisia and its people.
This print on double-weight paper from Alinari Archives in Florence is a testament to the enduring appeal of historical photography and its ability to transport us back in time. It is a reminder of how clothing, accessories, and traditions can tell stories that transcend generations.
