EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Algeria in Africa and the Province of Oran, France" takes us back to circa 1920, showcasing a snapshot of history. The image depicts a child dressed in traditional North African attire standing next to a geographical map of Algeria and the province of Oran. This artwork is part of the French Departments series, highlighting the importation of various goods such as figs, cotton, tobacco, agathe (a type of stone), and lead. The chromolithography technique used in this piece brings vibrant colors to life, enhancing our visual experience. It serves as a reminder of the colonial era when France had control over Algeria and its resources. The presence of tobacco plants and a hookah further emphasizes the importance of commerce during that time. The photograph also symbolizes cultural exchange between France and Algeria through clothing customs passed down from father to son. It showcases elements unique to Arab civilization while representing both Algerian and French identities. Moreover, this artwork provides insight into botany and natural history by featuring different types of fruits like figs alongside an exploration into geography with its detailed map representation. Overall, this print captures not only historical context but also highlights themes such as tradition, identity, commerce, colonialism, and cultural diversity within Africa's Maghreb region.
