EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the works performed in Algiers for the construction of the boulevard de l imperatrice. The engraving, based on Mr. Leon-Rogers sketch, was featured in "Le Monde illustrious" from 1862 and is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to 19th century Algiers, during a time when colonialism and urban planning were shaping the city's landscape. The bustling construction site depicted here gives us a glimpse into the ambitious efforts undertaken to create this grand boulevard. The scene captures both the magnitude of the project and its impact on Algerian society. It symbolizes not only physical development but also represents an era of cultural exchange between Arab civilization and European influences. In black and white, this engraving emphasizes both the starkness of progress against tradition as well as highlights details that might have been overlooked otherwise. From workers laboring diligently to architectural elements taking shape, every aspect tells a story about Algeria's history. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries through human ingenuity and determination. This print invites us to reflect on our own modern-day urban landscapes while appreciating those who came before us in shaping our world today.
