EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken around 1900 in Keren, Eritrea, captures a moment of joyous celebration as Muslims mark the end of Ramadan. The image showcases a landscape that is both barren and beautiful - a desert stretching out into the distance with rolling hillsides in the background. Against this backdrop, a diverse group of individuals come together to commemorate this significant event in Islam. The composition focuses on the unity and diversity within the Muslim community. A mixture of men, women, and children are seen gathered together, their faces filled with happiness and contentment. Each person's unique features tell stories of their own experiences and backgrounds. The photographer has skillfully captured not only the physical surroundings but also an atmosphere charged with spirituality. The scene exudes tranquility despite being set amidst harsh conditions. It serves as a testament to the resilience and faithfulness of these individuals who have endured fasting throughout Ramadan. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into non-Christian religious practices during an era when such documentation was scarce. It invites viewers to appreciate different cultures while fostering understanding among diverse communities. While we may never know who exactly took this remarkable snapshot or what motivated them to capture it so beautifully, its historical significance cannot be understated. This image offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared humanity across religions and cultures. As we observe this photograph from Alinari today, let us celebrate not only its artistic merit but also recognize its power to bridge gaps between people by showcasing moments like these – moments that transcend time itself
