EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Camel of Saleh" showcases a remarkable piece of popular imagery from 19th century Tunisia. The artwork depicts a scene inspired by Sura 7, verse 71 of the Quran, which states that the camel is a sign from God. In this image, we see a beautiful camel standing tall in the desert, symbolizing its significance within Muslim religion and Islamic culture. The composition of the print captures the essence of North African heritage and Arab civilization. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting the rich history and cultural diversity found in Tunisia. The presence of a baby being breastfed near the camel adds an element of tenderness and emphasizes themes such as motherhood and childhood. This engraving also serves as a reminder of Africa's connection to Islam, showcasing how religious beliefs have shaped various aspects of daily life on the continent. It evokes feelings related to hunger and survival in harsh desert conditions while simultaneously celebrating resilience and faith. As part of a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. It offers viewers an opportunity to explore Tunisian traditions through visual storytelling, providing insight into both past and present aspects of Maghreb culture.
