The Impact of Modern Civilisation in Tripolitania - A Glimpse into the Past and Present
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Impact of Modern Civilisation in Tripolitania" offers a vivid portrayal of the collision between old and new modes of transport in the heart of Libya's desert. Created by an anonymous French School artist during the 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a momentous encounter that epitomizes progress, costume, technology, and cultural exchange. In this scene from Le Petit Journal on November 5th, 1911, we witness an extraordinary meeting between two vastly different methods of transportation. On one side stands an ancient Arab rider atop a majestic camel - a symbol deeply rooted in Arabian culture and history. On the other side emerges modern motoring with its sleek automobile traversing through the vast Sahara sands. This juxtaposition not only showcases how modern civilisation has transformed Tripolitania but also highlights the enduring presence of traditional Arab civilization. The image invites contemplation about how these contrasting forms coexist within Libya's evolving landscape. As we delve deeper into this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for private collection purposes only, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a mere encounter; it embodies Africa's rich wildlife heritage as well. Amidst this historical crossroad lies several animals - including bactrian camels - adding to the allure and mystique surrounding this region. "The Impact of Modern Civilisation in Tripolitania" serves as both a visual time capsule and an invitation to explore further into our collective human journey through time.
