FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the vast, golden expanse of the Sahara Desert in Algeria, a camel caravan makes its way through the arid landscape, carrying precious goods from one destination to another. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1906, and it captures the essence of traditional trade in North Africa during that era. The camels, with their humps laden with packs, plod steadily forward, their gait a testament to their resilience and adaptability in the harsh desert conditions. The traders, dressed in robes and headdresses, walk alongside their animals, guiding them through the undulating dunes. Biskra, a small oasis town in Algeria, serves as the backdrop for this scene. It was an important stopover for caravans traveling between the Mediterranean coast and the Sahara, as it provided water and shelter for both humans and animals. The desert stretches out in all directions, its undulating dunes and golden sand a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the caravan. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, adding depth and texture to the image. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of trade in North Africa and the resilience of the people and animals that made it possible. It transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that has long since passed.
