EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient rock paintings of human figures in Tassili N Ajjer, located in the vast Sahara desert of southeast Algeria. The composition with these enigmatic characters takes us back to a time when humanity was still in its infancy. Dating back to the Neolithic period, approximately 9000 BC to 4500 BC, these frescoes were meticulously recorded by the renowned French archaeologist Henri Lhote (1903-91) during his expedition in 1956-57. The image captures the essence of this prehistoric art form, displaying female and male figures painted on rocky surfaces. Each stroke tells a story of our ancestors' lives and their connection to nature. The African influence is evident as we witness the representation of North African individuals within this rupestrian masterpiece. Gerard Degeorge has skillfully captured this timeless artwork through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and study. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to delve into an era long gone but not forgotten.
