EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Orientalists: representation of a Biskry, porter in Algiers" by Benjamin Roubaud takes us on a visual journey to 19th century Algeria. The image showcases the intricate details of an Algerian porter, known as a Biskry, captured through the artist's skilled illustration. The Biskry stands tall and proud, adorned in traditional North African attire that reflects his cultural heritage. His expressive face tells stories of resilience and strength, embodying the spirit of Arab civilization. This portrait serves as a testament to the rich diversity found within French Orientalism during this era. The artwork is housed at Palais de Longchamp in Marseille, France - a fitting location for such an exquisite piece that bridges cultures and continents. Its presence there allows visitors to appreciate not only the beauty of this individual but also gain insight into the historical connections between France and Algeria. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness Africa's vibrant essence through Jean Bernard's artistic lens. It reminds us of the power art holds in capturing moments from history and preserving them for future generations.
