EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting waterfront boulevards of Algiers, Algeria, in the 1920s, as seen from Mustapha Superieur. The image showcases the picturesque blend of European and African influences that defined the city during this era. The broad, tree-lined boulevards, reminiscent of Parisian streets, wind their way along the coastline, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. In the foreground, a tram, a common mode of transportation during this time, ascends the steep slope of Coteaux de Mustapha Superieur, also known as the ramps or slopes of Mustapha Superior. The winding ramps, designed to help navigate the city's hilly terrain, are a testament to the ingenuity of urban planning during the colonial period. The vibrant colors and textures of the buildings, with their intricate architectural details, add to the visual richness of the scene. The whitewashed houses, with their red-tiled roofs, contrast beautifully with the lush greenery of the trees and the deep blue of the sea. The bustling activity along the waterfront, with people going about their daily lives, adds a sense of energy and vitality to the image. The boats moored in the harbor, their sails furled, suggest the city's rich maritime history and its connections to the wider world. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the unique character and charm of Algiers during the 1920s. The waterfront boulevards, with their European influences and African roots, continue to be a source of pride and inspiration for the people of Algiers today.
