EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nafta and the Shott-el-jerid, c1890" takes us back to the arid landscapes of North Africa in the late 19th century. The artist Bertrand skillfully captures the mesmerizing beauty of Shat el Jerid, a salt lake located in Nefta, Tunisia. The image is an illustration from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" published by Virtue & Co Limited in London around 1890. It showcases the unique geographical features of this desert region, highlighting the vastness of Shott el Jerid against a monochrome backdrop. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported to a time when exploration was at its peak. The serene landscape evokes a sense of tranquility amidst harsh conditions. The contrast between the barren desert and shimmering salt lake creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates our imagination. Bertrand's attention to detail allows us to appreciate every intricate element within this composition – from the texture of sand dunes stretching into infinity to the crystal-like formations on the surface of Shatt el Jerid itself. This print serves as a reminder not only of Tunisia's natural wonders but also as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during one of history's most transformative centuries. It invites us to reflect on our connection with nature and sparks our desire for adventure beyond familiar horizons.
