EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a young Jewish woman from Algiers, Algeria during the 18th-19th century. Dressed in a tall turban and an exquisite blue embroidered woolen dress with short sleeves over a white chemise, she exudes elegance and grace. The handcoloured woodcut by T. S. & Duverger beautifully captures her timeless beauty. The image is part of Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World), published in Brussels in 1845 under his pseudonym Wahlen. Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer, also known as Wahlen, was not only a writer but also an archivist with Belgium's Heraldic Department. This photograph transports us to North Africa, specifically Algeria - a land rich in culture and history. It offers us glimpses into Arab civilization and highlights the diversity within African communities. The image is filled with vibrant colors that bring life to every detail captured by the engraver. It serves as a testament to the talent of Florilegius who has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come. As we admire this young woman's beauty and poise, we are reminded of the importance of preserving cultural heritage through art. This photograph allows us to appreciate both her individuality as well as her connection to Judaism - showcasing how religion plays an integral role in shaping one's identity. In conclusion, Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece that celebrates diversity while honoring historical traditions – reminding us that true art transcends time and place.
