EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1899 titled "ALGIERS: CARPET-MAKERS" transports us back in time to a courtyard in Algiers, Algeria. The image showcases the intricate art of carpet-making, with women skillfully carding wool, spinning yarn, and weaving beautiful carpets. The scene is filled with cultural elements that reflect the Arab heritage of Algiers. The architecture features an archway adorned with Moorish designs, perfectly framing the domestic setting where this ancient craft takes place. Seated on straw mats, these talented artisans work diligently at their looms while wearing traditional veils. Every detail in this photochromic masterpiece captures the essence of late 19th-century Algerian life. A coffee pot and cup can be seen nearby, hinting at moments of respite amidst their laborious tasks. The women's focused expressions reveal their dedication to creating perfect textiles. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical moment for us to admire and appreciate the craftsmanship involved in carpet-making during turn-of-the-century Algeria. This image serves as a testament to the rich textile traditions passed down through generations.
