EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Entrée des Gorges du Rhumel; Afrique du Nord' and dated back to 1914, showcases a breathtaking view of the Rhumel Gorge in Algeria, North Africa. The image is an exquisite example from the early 20th century, taken from 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree', a renowned French geographical publication of that era. The photograph transports us to a time when the world was being explored and documented with great enthusiasm. The image captures the raw beauty of the North African landscape, with its towering cliffs and narrow ravine, as the Rhumel River winds its way through the gorge. The contrast between the white cliffs and the black shadows cast by the ravine creates a stunning visual effect. The location, now part of Algeria, was a French protectorate during the early 1900s, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial era. The image is a testament to the rich history and diverse geography of Africa, a continent that continues to captivate and inspire. Despite the unknown creator of this photograph, the image remains a valuable addition to any collection of historical and geographical records. The black and white medium adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a treasure for historians, geographers, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world and the history of exploration.
