EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the unique bond between a Tunisian Spahi Officer and his pet gazelle in Tunisia during the early 1910s. The Spahis were light cavalry regiments of the French army, primarily recruited from the indigenous populations of Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. The officer, dressed in his distinctive uniform adorned with medals and a turban, cuts an unusual yet endearing figure as he tenderly holds the gazelle by its horns. The gazelle, with its graceful form and alert eyes, seems to trustingly gaze back at its master. The scene transports us back in time to the colonial era of North Africa, where the French forces ruled over the diverse and rich cultural landscape. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the unusual sight of a pet gazelle, an animal native to the region, being kept by a military officer. The sweet and unexpected image offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the Spahi officers and the unique relationship they shared with their environment.
