EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Spahis, an indigenous cavalry corps of the French army of Africa. Composed mainly of Arab horsemen, this elite unit was formed in the provinces of Algiers, Bone, and Oran during the mid-19th century. The image is taken from "Storia d Algeri" by Leone Galibert, a renowned historian of that era. The photograph captures the essence of armament and civilization as it depicts these brave soldiers in their military uniforms. Armed with guns and sabres, they represent both power and elegance on horseback. This portrayal highlights not only their role in colonialism but also their contribution to maintaining political stability in North Africa. The composition beautifully portrays the diversity within France's armed forces at that time. The Spahis were an integral part of Algeria's history and played a significant role in shaping Arab civilization within French territories. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of Africa's rich heritage through its African population. This print serves as a visual testament to the cultural exchange between France and its colonies during this period. With Stefano Bianchetti's expert touch capturing every detail with precision, this print transports us back to a pivotal moment in 19th-century history - where tradition meets modernity on horseback across vast African landscapes.
