EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of a Moorish woman from Algeria, back when it was still under French territory. The woman is elegantly posed, holding a narguile (hookah) in her hand, exuding an air of mystery and allure. The image was featured as the cover of "Le petit journal illustrious" on December 15th, 1935. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North Africa during the early 20th century. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti's skilled engraving bring this piece to life. The woman's traditional attire reflects her Algerian roots, while her confident gaze speaks volumes about her strength and resilience. Her connection to Arab civilization is evident through the presence of the narguile, symbolizing social gatherings and relaxation within this culture. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also invites us to ponder upon historical contexts such as colonialism and cultural exchange between France and Algeria at that time. It reminds us of the diverse tapestry that makes up our global society. Preserved in private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the grace and dignity of this Moorish woman from Algeria - an embodiment of strength amidst adversity.
