Dromedarissen takelen water uit een put in Tunesië 1863 - 1900

This photograph, taken by the Neurdein Frères between 1863 and 1900, depicts dromedary camels being used to draw water from a well in Tunisia. The scene captures the daily life of people in North Africa, showcasing the importance of camels in the region. The image is a classic example of "Orientalist" photography, a genre that often romanticized and exoticized the cultures of the Middle East and North Africa. The sepia tone and detailed composition create a sense of realism and authenticity. The photograph is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the use of camels and traditional well systems in the region.
