EDITORS COMMENTS
Moorish Types: A Ride to Gebel-Mousa, in North-Western Barbary," is a captivating photograph taken by Trorey Blackmore in the late 1870s. The image is a selection from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London. The photograph depicts a group of Berber men, indigenous people of North Africa, dressed in traditional attire, posing on horses against the backdrop of a rocky landscape. The men wear intricately designed headdresses, some adorned with feathers, beads, and other decorative elements. Their faces are expressive and full of character, revealing a sense of pride and strength. The location of the photograph is identified as Gebel-Mousa, in North-Western Barbary, which is now known as Algeria. The title "Moorish Types" suggests an ethnographic or anthropological interest in documenting the diverse cultures and peoples of North Africa during the late 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of North Africa and the Berber people, who have a long and complex history that predates the Arab conquest of the region. The image also reflects the fascination of Europeans with the exotic and the foreign, as well as their desire to document and preserve the cultures they encountered during their travels and explorations. Trorey Blackmore was a prolific photographer who captured many scenes from his travels in Africa, and this photograph is just one example of his work. The image is a valuable historical record of a time and place that is now largely forgotten, and it continues to inspire interest and curiosity about the diverse peoples and cultures of North Africa.
