The Nuba of the Turcos of Algeria, walking through the streets of Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from 1896 captures a moment in history when cultures collided on the vibrant streets of Paris. The image depicts a group known as "The Nuba" members of the Turcos regiment hailing from Algeria, strolling confidently amidst the bustling cityscape. With their distinctive military attire and traditional instruments in hand, they bring an exotic flair to the French capital. The engraving was originally featured in "Le petit journal" a popular publication at that time, showcasing various aspects of life around the world. It is now part of Leonard de Selva's private collection, offering us a glimpse into this fascinating era. Intriguingly, this artwork sheds light on colonialism and its influence on cultural exchange during that period. The presence of these Algerian soldiers marching proudly through Paris symbolizes both France's imperial power and its fascination with African culture. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded not only of Africa's rich heritage but also how it has influenced other parts of the world. Through art like this engraving by an unknown artist, we can appreciate diverse civilizations coming together and shaping our collective history.
