EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between two different military units in French-occupied Algeria during the 19th century. On the left, we see a foreign legion formed and sent to Algeria in 1831. These soldiers don French military uniforms, representing their allegiance to France as they navigate through unfamiliar territory. On the right side of the image, we witness indigenous riders who have been trained and sent to Algeria in 1841. Clad in their own traditional attire, these local warriors bring a sense of authenticity and cultural pride to this militaristic tableau. The engraving is taken from "L'Algerie ancienne et moderne" by Leon Galibert, published in 1844. The unknown artist skillfully captures both groups with intricate detail and accuracy. This artwork not only highlights the colonial presence of France in North Africa but also serves as a testament to the complex dynamics that existed within Algerian society at that time. It symbolizes how different cultures coexisted and interacted under French rule while showcasing the diversity within both military forces. Giancarlo Costa's expert curation brings this historical moment back to life, allowing us to reflect on an era marked by imperialism and cultural exchange. Through this photograph print, viewers are invited to delve into a fascinating chapter of history where tradition meets modernity on Algerian soil.
