is an evocative and captivating photograph from the late 19th century, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The picture, estimated to have been taken around 1899, showcases the picturesque and nostalgic scene of the Algiers harbor under the gentle glow of the moonlight. The lighthouse, standing proudly against the night sky, casts a warm and inviting light, guiding sailors safely to shore. The vibrant colors of this coloured photochrom print add to its charm, bringing the scene to life with a rich and textured depth. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to capture a moment in time, offering a window into the past. The image is reminiscent of a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was a more connected place, with ships sailing between continents and cultures. The view of Algiers from this angle is both picturesque and romantic, with the moon casting a soft, ethereal light over the harbor and the city beyond. The calm waters reflect the moon's glow, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The lighthouse, a beacon of hope and safety, stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who built it.

The Moonlight View, with Lighthouse, Algiers, Algeria, is more than just a photograph; it is a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the rich history and culture that has shaped our world, and a reminder of the enduring power of nature to inspire and captivate us.
