EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1855 captures the grandeur of the Palace of Industry at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, France. The image showcases a gallery annex dedicated to displaying products from Algeria, offering a glimpse into the rich culture and craftsmanship of this North African country. The focal point of the print is a collection of beautifully decorated ostrich eggs adorned with intricate trimmings. These exquisite creations were crafted by Abd-el-Kader Ben Hamed from Tlemcen, showcasing his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Adjacent to these stunning eggs are various other Algerian products that highlight the diversity and skill within their artistic community. Kaddour Ben Marabet's embroidered cushion catches the eye with its vibrant colors and delicate stitching. Solal's bumous and gandourah garments display traditional designs that reflect Algerian heritage. The seating arrangements featured in this exhibit also demonstrate remarkable artistry. Mohammed Ben Bouzian and Abd-el-Kader Ben Hamed's black velvet seat and headrest exude elegance, while Moustapha Ismail Khodja's red velvet counterparts add a touch of opulence. In addition to these masterpieces, cereals, fruits, bamboo, woodwork, cane furniture, ceramics, and more contribute to an immersive experience celebrating Algeria’s industry. This engraving transports us back in time to witness firsthand how artistry transcends borders at international exhibitions like this one held on Champs-Elysees over 150 years ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while reminding us of our shared cultural heritage.
