EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The French Occupation of Tunis, Native Character Sketches" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of 19th-century Tunisia. The print showcases various native characters against the backdrop of a bustling street scene in Tunis. In this snapshot of history, we are introduced to an array of intriguing individuals who represent different professions and social strata. A Jewish girl catches our attention with her distinctive traditional dress, while a skilled Tunisian weaver demonstrates his craft nearby. These figures stand as testaments to the diverse population that coexisted during the French occupation. As we explore further, we notice other fascinating details within this vibrant tableau. A group of Tunisian children playfully engage with each other amidst their daily lives, oblivious to the political changes occurring around them. Meanwhile, a shoe black diligently tends to his customers' footwear outside a barbershop on Rue Souki Bel Khir. "The French Occupation of Tunis" not only captures these unique moments but also serves as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper from January 16th, 1897. This historical artifact allows us to delve deeper into the past and gain insights into how life unfolded during this significant period in North African history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection so that future generations can appreciate its artistic beauty and historical significance alike.
