EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and intriguing travel methods of the Berbers in Algeria during the 19th century. The image showcases a prince or high-ranking officer gracefully riding a horse, his regal attire and proud posture reflecting his status. In contrast, a woman of the Berber community is depicted under a protective canopy on a donkey, her modest clothing and gentle demeanor emphasizing the importance of modesty and comfort during travel. Another group of travelers, likely pilgrims on their way to Mecca, are shown under a canopy on a horse-drawn cart. Their determined expressions and the presence of their belongings suggest a long and arduous journey ahead. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving bring the scene to life, providing a captivating window into the past. The Berbers, an indigenous people of the Maghreb region, have a rich and complex history, and this image offers a unique perspective into their travel practices during a time when Algeria was under foreign influence. The intricate details of the clothing, the postures of the figures, and the setting all contribute to a vivid and engaging representation of a bygone era.
