EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century, capturing a moment of bustling activity at a warehouse in Keren, Eritrea. The image showcases a group of caravaneers energetically charging bags, their faces filled with determination and strength. The depot itself stands as an impressive commercial structure against the backdrop of rolling hillsides, blending seamlessly into the landscape. Its architecture reflects both functionality and beauty, mirroring the rich history of this contemporary nation. In this portrait-like composition, we witness men dressed in traditional costumes that speak volumes about their ethnic identity and cultural heritage. Their presence evokes curiosity about Eritrea's diverse populations and territories during that period. The sacks they are handling become objects of intrigue within this frame; symbols of trade, commerce, and perhaps even survival. These bags hold stories untold – tales of journeys across vast landscapes and encounters with different peoples along ancient trading routes. It is worth noting that the subjects captured here are described as "black Africans" or "negroid populations" reminding us how anthropology has historically categorized people based on race. However, it is essential to view these individuals beyond such labels - as unique human beings with complex histories shaped by their ethnicity but not defined by it alone. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph by an unidentified author from Alinari, we are transported to another era where life was marked by adventure and resilience. It serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity while also igniting our imagination about the untold stories hidden within each face present in this mesmerizing scene from Eritrea's past.
