EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Alexandrine Petronella Francina Tinne (1818-1893), a remarkable Dutch traveler and explorer, in Algiers with her household during her extensive journey through Africa between 1839 and 1869. Alexandrine, also known as Mademoiselle Tinne, embarked on her adventure at the age of 21, accompanied by her husband, Cornelis Tinne, and their young son, Jan. Alexandrine's passion for exploration and her desire to learn about different cultures led her to traverse various parts of Africa, including Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Angola. She documented her experiences in detailed journals, which are now an invaluable source of historical information about the regions she visited. In this photograph, Alexandrine is seen surrounded by her household members, likely taken during a brief stop in Algiers. The group includes her husband, Cornelis, their son, Jan, and several African servants. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a European traveler and her household in Africa during the mid-19th century. The diverse group of people, dressed in a mix of European and African attire, reflects the multicultural nature of the time. Alexandrine's travels and experiences provide a unique perspective on the history of European exploration and interaction with Africa. Her journals offer insights into the social, political, and cultural contexts of the regions she visited, making her an essential figure in the history of African exploration.
