EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Steamship Normannia, Algiers, Algeria," transports us back in time to the late 19th century, a period of significant global exploration and advancement. The image, estimated to be taken around 1899, showcases the Steamship Normannia docked at the picturesque port of Algiers in Algeria. The steamship, with its tall smokestacks and ornate details, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea and the vibrant, colorful buildings of the North African city. The photograph, which is part of the rich collection of historical and nostalgic images from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the allure of the past. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing colored photographs during this era, adds an extra layer of charm and authenticity to the image. The process involved the use of multiple glass plates, each coated with a different color filter, to capture the various colors of the scene. The Steamship Normannia, with its intricate design and impressive size, would have been a sight to behold as it sailed into the bustling port of Algiers. The image offers a glimpse into the past, when travel by sea was a grand adventure and the world seemed a much larger place. The nostalgia evoked by this photograph invites us to reflect on the rich history of maritime exploration and the connections that have been forged between different cultures throughout the ages.
