EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The nezla (relative) of my guide" takes us back to the Algerian Sahara in the late 19th century. The engraving, skillfully created by G. Vuillier, beautifully captures the essence of African culture and habitat during that time. In this scene, we see a young child standing proudly next to a camel outside their traditional tent. The child is believed to be a relative of the guide who led the artist through this mesmerizing desert landscape. Their connection is evident as they both exude confidence and strength. The image also showcases other elements of life in Algeria at that time - from goats grazing nearby to the vastness of the Sahara stretching out into infinity. It serves as a reminder of how closely intertwined humans were with nature in this region. Published in 1881 as part of Edouard Charton's Tour du monde magazine, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Through its intricate details and artistic composition, it allows us to appreciate both the beauty and diversity found within Arab civilization. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly preserves this historical artwork for future generations to admire and learn from. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an enchanting world where cultures collide amidst breathtaking landscapes.
