EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dance of the Almies in Egypt. 1811" transports us back to a time when tradition and culture thrived in the heart of Africa. The image, captured by French School artist Leonard de Selva in the 19th century, showcases a mesmerizing scene that encapsulates the essence of Egyptian customs. In this enchanting engraving, we witness a group of veiled women gracefully swaying to the rhythm of traditional music played by an African musician. Their vibrant attire reflects their rich heritage while also highlighting their devotion to Islam, as they are adorned with symbols synonymous with Muslim religion. The Dance of the Almies is not merely a performance but rather an expression deeply rooted in Islamic traditions. It serves as a celebration of faith and community bonding, where women come together to honor their beliefs through rhythmic movements passed down from generation to generation. Through this photograph, Leonard de Selva masterfully captures both the beauty and significance behind this ancient custom. The intricate details showcased on each woman's veil symbolize not only their individuality but also their unity within society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded that art has no boundaries; it allows us to travel through time and experience cultures far beyond our own. Let this photograph serve as a testament to the power of tradition and its ability to transcend generations while preserving cultural identity for centuries to come.
