EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a young Algerian shoeshine boy, who stands confidently on a bustling North African street, calling out to potential customers with an enthusiastic shout. Dressed in traditional attire, the boy wears a white cap and holds a polished wooden box filled with shoe wares. The brightly colored shoes he is holding in his other hand are ready for use, as he prepares to shine a customer's boots. The scene takes place in Algeria, a country located in the northernmost part of Africa, during the early 1900s. The boy's youthful smile and attentive demeanor convey a sense of pride and determination, as he goes about his daily work. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment in history when traditional trades such as shoeshining were an integral part of daily life. The image also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Algeria and the resilience of its people, who continue to preserve their customs and traditions despite the passage of time.
