EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1894 features Tacle, an Abyssinian woman, captured in stunning detail on double-weight paper. The image showcases the beauty and grace of this young woman from Eritrea, offering a glimpse into her traditional attire and military-inspired costume.
The photographer behind this timeless portrait remains unidentified, adding to the mystery and allure of the image. Tacle's striking features are highlighted in black and white, emphasizing her negroid heritage and unique cultural background.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to late 19th century Eritrea, where populations like Tacle were documented for their physiological and psychological aspects. This image serves as a valuable piece of anthropological history, shedding light on the clothing, accessories, hair dressings, and veils worn by black Africans during that era.
Tacle's infectious laughter and smile capture the essence of youth and vitality, while also reflecting the traditions and customs of her ethnic group. This portrait is not just a simple photograph; it is a window into a bygone era filled with rich history, age-old traditions, and diverse populations.
In studying images like this one from Alinari Archives in Florence, we gain insight into the complexities of different cultures around the world – making us more aware of our shared humanity despite our differences.
