EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of women from the Ouled Nail tribe in the Southern Algerian town of Biskra, circa 1906. The women are dressed in their distinctive and elaborate traditional clothing, which sets them apart from other Algerian communities. Their outfits are adorned with intricate ornamentation, including intricately designed head dresses, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets made of glass beads, coins, and metal nails. The Ouled Nail women were known for their skill in belly dancing and earned their livelihood through performing for travelers and tourists. In this image, they are seen unveiled, a rarity for Algerian women at the time, and their hair is styled up in elaborate braids and coils. The women's faces are heavily made-up, with thick eyeliner, kohl, and rouge, adding to their allure. The backdrop of the photograph shows a series of doorways, possibly the entrance to a traditional Algerian home or a performance space. The arches and intricate carvings on the doors add to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds the Ouled Nail women. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Algeria and the unique fashion and traditions of the Ouled Nail tribe. The women's ornate and elaborate clothing, combined with their unveiled faces and bold makeup, make for a striking and memorable image that continues to captivate viewers more than a century after it was taken.
