Description from the seller
Good illustrated edition of this work by Jungmann, which offers a detailed description of the clothing, social practices, and customs of the Algerian populations at a time when France had just begun its colonial conquest.
The author aims to depict traditional dress, ceremonies, domestic customs, and collective rituals, seeking to give the European reader a picturesque and exotic image of Algerian society.
J. Bernard's edition is distinguished by its illustrated and documentary nature, aiming to satisfy the ethnographic and aesthetic curiosity of the public.
She participates in constructing a colonial imaginary where Algeria is perceived through its cultural differences and clothing singularities.
