EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from history - the view of the French establishment at La Calle burnt and destroyed by the Arabs on 18th June 1827. The illustration is taken from Atlas de l'aperçu historique, statistique et topographique sur l'état d'Alger, à l'usage du corps expéditionnaire d'Afrique by Vincent Yves Boutin in 1830. The image showcases the aftermath of a devastating fire that engulfed the French settlement near Algiers. Thick smoke billows into the sky, obscuring parts of the landscape and creating an eerie atmosphere. The once bustling trading post now lies in ruins, its buildings reduced to charred remnants. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of colonialism's impact on North Africa during this period. It highlights both the fragility of these coastal colonies and their vulnerability to attacks from local populations. The composition also draws attention to Algeria's stunning coastline, with its picturesque port nestled against the shoreline. This juxtaposition between destruction and natural beauty adds depth to this historical document. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this lithographic engraving offers us a glimpse into a turbulent chapter in Algerian history. Its inclusion in eArchives Charmet ensures that this important piece remains accessible for study and reflection today.
