EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and contrasting cultures of Algiers, Algeria during the 1950s. In the foreground, we see a group of Algerian men and women enjoying a day at the Club des Officiers d'El Kettani, a popular swimming pool and recreational facility for the European community. The pristine 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pool reflects the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, providing a refreshing escape from the heat. Beyond the pool, the vibrant district of Bab El Oued comes into view, with its colorful houses and bustling markets. The district, known for its rich history and cultural diversity, is a stark contrast to the tranquility of the poolside. In the distance, the St. Eugene European Cemetery stands as a reminder of the colonial past, with its ornate tombstones and lush greenery. The Mediterranean coastline stretches out behind the cemetery, offering a breathtaking view of the azure sea and the rugged Algerian coast. The combination of the European and African cultures, the natural beauty of the coastline, and the historical significance of the area make this photograph a captivating snapshot of Algiers during a pivotal time in its history.
