EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1909 in Tunisia, showcases the grandeur of a Jewish woman's pantaloons as they hang on a washing line. The voluminous and enormous pantaloons, a traditional Jewish attire for women in North Africa during that era, are a sight to behold. Their intricate design and the sheer size of the fabric demand attention, making it no wonder that a personal guard is seen standing nearby. The woman in this image, dressed in the traditional Jewish costume of the time, is shown engaging in a common household chore, yet her attire sets her apart. The pantaloons, also known as lehnert or landrock, were a significant part of the Jewish women's dress in Tunisia and other North African countries. These garments were made of heavy cotton fabric and were worn with long-sleeved blouses and head coverings. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish community in Tunisia during the early 1900s. The woman's pantaloons, with their unique design and size, are a testament to the traditional clothing that has been passed down through generations. The image also serves as a reminder of the diverse and vibrant cultural tapestry that exists in Tunisia and other parts of the world.
