EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting world of Sidi-Bou-Said, a picturesque village in North Africa. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image captures the delicate beauty of a harem window. The intricate details of the window frame draw our attention, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship that was prevalent during this era. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. Through this window, we catch a glimpse into a hidden world - one filled with elegance and seclusion. The historical significance of this photograph is further enhanced by its inclusion in "Picturesque North Africa" an illustrated book published in Berlin in 1925. This publication aimed to showcase the unique charm and allure of North African landscapes and architecture. Lehnert and Landrock, renowned photographers based in Cairo at that time, are credited for capturing this stunning image through their gravure-printed technique. Their expertise brings out every subtle nuance within the frame. As we admire this early 20th-century masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we cannot help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder of both our fascination with exotic cultures and our appreciation for fine art photography's ability to capture fleeting moments forever.
