EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming souvenir postcard from Constantine, Algeria, dating back to 1906. The captivating image showcases the Caserne des Zouaves (Barracks of the Zouaves), a significant military installation in the northeastern part of the city. The two inset photographs gracefully encapsulate the essence of this North African locale. In one inset, two Algerian Tirailleurs (Sharp-shooters or riflemen) proudly pose for the camera, their uniforms adorned with the distinctive red fez and red and white striped kepi. Their disciplined demeanor and sharp gaze convey their dedication and readiness as members of the military. The other inset photograph reveals the iconic Porte de la Casbah (Gate of the Kasbah), a historic landmark in Constantine. The intricately designed gate, with its red roses and ornate arches, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Kasbah, or Qasbah, is an ancient fortified city within the city, and its walls and gates have been a symbol of protection and strength for centuries. Hand-tinted in vibrant red, this postcard is a beautiful reminder of the exotic allure and history of Constantine, Algeria, during the early 1900s. This souvenir postcard, with its captivating imagery and nostalgic charm, is a must-have for collectors, historians, and anyone with a passion for the history and culture of North Africa.
