EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the early 1910s, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Algerian town of Beni Mered, located in the Abziza area. The scene unfolds before us as a series of large farm buildings and storage sheds and cellars stand proudly behind trees and expansive fields. The farmhouses, with their distinctive red-tiled roofs, exude a sense of rustic charm and tranquility. The farmland, dotted with trees and irrigation canals, stretches out as far as the eye can see, providing the fertile ground for the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock. The farmhouses, which served as the heart of rural life in this North African community, were the homes of the European settlers who had come to Algeria during the colonial era. The large sheds and warehouses, with their sturdy wooden doors and high, arched windows, were essential for the storage of crops and agricultural produce. The cellars, hidden beneath the ground, provided a cool, dark refuge for the preservation of perishable goods. These structures were a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the farmers and settlers who lived and worked in this region. The trees, which provide a lush, green contrast to the earthy tones of the farmhouses and fields, add a sense of beauty and serenity to the scene. The peaceful rural setting of Beni Mered, with its farmhouses, storage sheds, and cellars, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the lives of those who lived and worked in this part of Algeria during the colonial era. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of this fascinating region of North Africa.
