EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the late 19th century, where this remarkable print captures a moment frozen in history. In a studio setting, we are transported to an intriguing scene of cultural diversity and social interaction. A large group of men, both Arab and European, stand and sit around a table adorned with fascinating objects. The attire worn by these individuals tells a story of contrasting traditions. The Arabs proudly showcase their rich heritage through their traditional clothing - vibrant turbans and headdresses that reflect their civilian, military, or religious affiliations. On the other hand, the Europeans exude elegance in their finely tailored suits. At the heart of this gathering lies a beautifully set table covered with an exquisite cloth. It holds several cups and a narghil (hookah), hinting at shared moments of drinking and camaraderie. This image offers glimpses into kitchenwares used during those times while also shedding light on eating habits prevalent among different ethnic groups. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph serves as an anthropological treasure trove for researchers interested in population studies, nationalities, anthropology ethnography folklore exploration. It provides valuable insights into Arab Berbers' presence alongside Negroid populations within society at that period. As we marvel at this snapshot from history's tapestry captured by an unidentified author from Alinari between 1895-1900 ca. , let us appreciate how it encapsulates not only fashion choices but also societal dynamics shaped by diverse backgrounds coming together under one roof.
