Summary
[edit]DescriptionLuce Ben Aben School of Arab Embroidery I, Algiers, Algeria.png |
English: "This photochrome print of the interior of a school of embroidery in Algiers is part of “Views of People and Sites in Algeria” from the catalog of the Detroit Publishing Company (1905). In 1845 the Frenchwoman Eugénie Luce (1804–82) opened a school for Muslim girls in Algiers that was intended to educate local girls along European lines. She included teaching needlework in the curriculum, along with French and other subjects. In 1861 the French Algerian administration withdrew funding from the school. The emphasis of the school shifted from general education to embroidery and training for a trade. Traditional female crafts in Algeria, such as weaving, embroidery, and carpet making, had suffered from the competition with machine-made imports, and the Luce Ben Aben School sought to work against the effects of this trend. By 1880, Madame Luce’s granddaughter, Madame Ben-Aben, was running the school." |
