This print titled "Young girl of Timbuktu, Mali" transports us to a bygone era in the 19th century. The image showcases the beauty and cultural richness of this young Muslim girl from Timbuktu, who defies convention by going out without a veil. Her attire is an exquisite Moorish costume consisting of a shawl, embroidered jacket, chemise, and culottes.

The photograph captures not only her striking appearance but also provides insight into the traditional dress and customs prevalent in Mali during that time. The tall hat she wears adds an element of uniqueness to her ensemble.
