EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Almee (engraving)" by the European School in the 19th century offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human diversity. The image, part of a private collection, showcases an Almee dancer adorned in traditional attire and engaged in a mesmerizing dance. The engraving was originally created as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published by Hachette in 1872. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the costume and native clothing worn by this representative figure. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the importance of understanding and appreciating different racial types and ethnicities. It challenges stereotypes that may exist within society while celebrating humanity's vast array of cultural expressions. The Almee dancer gracefully moves with castanets, showcasing not only their unique style but also highlighting how dance can be a universal language that transcends borders. The vibrant dress worn by the Almee serves as a visual representation of their distinct race and heritage. As viewers, we are invited to reflect on our own preconceived notions about others based on appearance or dress. This thought-provoking piece encourages us to embrace our differences while recognizing our shared humanity.
