EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Porte Bab-Azoun in Algiers, a fort that played a significant role during the conquest of Algeria by France in 1830. The image is taken from "L'Algerie ancienne et moderne" by Leon Galibert, published in 1844. Although the artist behind this particular piece remains unknown, their talent shines through as they expertly capture the essence of this historical landmark. The fort stands tall and proud against the backdrop of Algiers, symbolizing both strength and resilience. Its walls echo stories of battles fought and victories won, serving as a reminder of Algeria's complex history. A division led by Escars once occupied these very grounds during the conquest, leaving an indelible mark on Algerian soil. Intriguing elements within the photograph include a veiled woman gracefully passing by on her camel, adding an air of mystery to the scene. The presence of these figures highlights not only Arab civilization but also reflects daily life in North Africa during that time period. Presented in black and white, this print exudes timeless elegance while capturing every intricate detail with precision. It serves as a testament to Stefano Bianchetti's exceptional skill as he brings historical moments to life through his lens. Displayed here for private collection purposes only, this remarkable engraving invites viewers to delve into Algeria's rich past and appreciate its architectural marvels amidst its stunning natural landscape.
