"A Berber Playing the Kissar to Women of the Same Tribe" is a notable illustration from "The Valley of the Nile," a work published in 1848 that showcases the rich cultural tapestry and ethnographic details of Egyptian society. The illustration was engraved by Eugene Le Roux (1807-1863), a French artist known for his detailed engravings, and is part of a larger collection by Emile Prisse d'Avennes, a French Orientalist, architect, and archaeologist renowned for his studies and depictions of Egyptian art and architecture.

The image captures an intimate scene of a Berber musician playing the kissar, a traditional stringed musical instrument, to an attentive group of women from the same tribe. The illustration is significant for its portrayal of social customs and traditional entertainment within Berber communities in the Nile region. Prisse d'Avennes' work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its commitment to accurately representing the subjects it depicts, making it an invaluable resource for scholars studying the period.

The publication, "The Valley of the Nile," is part of Prisse d'Avennes' broader efforts to document the history, culture, and people of Egypt during the 19th century. His works, including this illustration, are celebrated for their contribution to Orientalist art and for providing a visual record of Egyptian life before the advent of photography. The illustration not only serves as an artistic piece but also as an anthropological record, reflecting the customs and daily life of the Berber people during the time.

This illustration, along with the rest of the collection, has been influential in shaping Western perceptions of the East and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and cultural significance. It remains a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Nile Valley and the meticulous work of Emile Prisse d'Avennes.
