EDITORS COMMENTS
Kairouan: View of the City at Twilight, Tunisia, 1912" is an evocative photograph that transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Kairouan in Tunisia, during the early 20th century. The image captures the magical moment of twilight, when the sun begins to set and the city is bathed in a warm, golden glow. The photograph showcases the rich history and architectural beauty of Kairouan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest Islamic capitals in the world. The city's most prominent feature, the Great Mosque of Uqba, can be seen in the distance, its magnificent minarets reaching towards the sky. The mosque, built in the 7th century, is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture and a symbol of the city's religious and cultural significance. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity of the city, with people going about their daily routines, donkeys and carts making their way through the narrow streets, and children playing in the alleys. The vibrant colors and textures of the buildings, the intricate patterns of the tiles, and the delicate shadows cast by the setting sun all add to the photograph's captivating allure. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a window into the history and culture of Kairouan during a time when the world was on the cusp of great change. It invites us to reflect on the enduring beauty and resilience of this ancient city, and to appreciate the rich tapestry of history that continues to unfold within its walls. The photograph was taken in 1912, a time when Tunisia was still under French colonial rule. Despite the political turmoil and upheaval of the era, the city of Kairouan remained a beacon of cultural and religious heritage, a testament to the enduring spirit of its people and the timeless beauty of its architecture.
