EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color photograph taken by a European photographer in the 19th century offers us a rare window into the industrial landscape of North Africa. Titled "Mine De Charbon, Pres Tourane" this image showcases an important coal mine located near the coastal towns of Sfax and Sousa in Tunisia. The photo captures the essence of a bustling mining operation, with workers toiling away amidst towering structures and billowing smoke. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich textures of this industrial scene, highlighting both its grandeur and harsh realities. Preserving history for future generations, this print is part of a private collection that sheds light on forgotten aspects of Tunisia's past. It serves as an illustration for Autour Du Monde (L Boulanger, c 1900), offering readers a glimpse into distant lands through striking visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' archives, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the ingenuity and labor that powered North Africa's coal industry.
