EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'Le bas Sahara-Les Oasis, Ouargla; Afrique du nord' and dated 1914, showcases an enchanting view of the Ouargla Oasis in the southern part of the Sahara Desert, Algeria. The image is taken from the renowned French publication 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree' of the same year. The photograph presents a stunning contrast between the arid, sandy landscape of the Sahara Desert and the lush, verdant oasis, which is a rare sight amidst the vast expanse of dunes and sun-scorched terrain. The oasis appears as a vibrant, colorful patchwork of vegetation and water, with palm trees, shrubs, and other plants thriving around the life-giving water sources. The map in the background of the image, also from 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree,' highlights the geographical location of the Ouargla Oasis in the southern part of Algeria, within the Sahara Desert. The mapmaking techniques used in the early 20th century are evident in the intricate details and engraved lines, which were common during that era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of mapmaking and the exploration of the African continent during the colonial period. The image's unknown creator masterfully captures the essence of the Sahara Desert and the allure of the oasis, making it a captivating addition to any collection of African or geographical imagery.
