EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of the Orange Tree Clinic and Solarium in Colonne Voirol, a tranquil suburb of Algiers, Algeria, circa 1930. The image showcases the picturesque setting of the clinic, with its beautiful orange trees lining the entrance and the solarium's glass walls reflecting the clear blue sky. The trees, in full bloom, add a splash of vibrant color to the scene, contrasting the whitewashed walls of the buildings. The Orange Tree Clinic, also known as Clinique des Orangers, and the Solarium were popular destinations for European expatriates seeking respite from the bustling city life of Algiers. The clinic offered medical services, while the solarium provided a place for sunbathing and relaxation. The presence of cars parked along the road indicates that the area was well-connected and accessible, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The architecture of the buildings is reminiscent of the European influence that permeated Algeria during the colonial era. The clean lines, whitewashed walls, and large windows are characteristic of the Mediterranean style that can still be seen in many parts of the region today. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the unique blend of cultures that once thrived in Algiers. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and charm of Colonne Voirol and the Orange Tree Clinic, which continue to be cherished memories for those who lived there and a source of fascination for those who have only heard stories of this bygone era.
