EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the hallowed halls of Notre Dame d'Afrique in Algiers, Algeria, as captured in this stunning late 19th century photograph. The interior of this historic basilica, completed in 1872, is a breathtaking display of colonial-era architecture and religious devotion. The vibrant colors of the stained glass windows cast a warm, otherworldly glow over the ornate marble columns and intricately carved wooden altars. The sense of history and nostalgia is palpable in this picturesque image, transporting us back to a time when Algiers was a bustling hub of European colonial influence. The basilica, dedicated to the African continent and its people, stands as a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place during this era. This photograph, estimated to date from around 1899, was likely produced using the photochrom process, which allowed for the creation of colorized images from black and white originals. The result is a richly detailed and vivid representation of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and beauty of this remarkable place. Notre Dame d'Afrique remains an important pilgrimage site and cultural landmark in Algiers today, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to connect with the past and experience the unique blend of African, European, and Islamic influences that define this fascinating city.
