EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Town Hall and Cours Bertagna in Bone, Algeria, circa 1920. The Town Hall, an impressive neoclassical building with grand columns and intricate details, stands proudly at the center of the image. Surrounding it, the lively Cours Bertagna is filled with activity. Men in traditional Algerian attire, including fez caps and long robes, walk along the cobblestone road, some carrying bundles or stopping to chat with friends. A newspaper kiosk and a postcard stand are set up on the side of the road, offering the latest news and memories of Algeria to passersby. Signs in French and Arabic adorn the buildings, reflecting the diverse cultural influences of the region. The signs read "Aperi Tif," "Quinquina Mattei," and "Tonic," suggesting the presence of local cafes and shops. The atmosphere is one of vibrant community life, as people go about their daily business in this North African town. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of Bone (now Annaba), Algeria, during the 1920s.
