Algiers, from the Sea, 1890 - A Glimpse into Algeria's Colonial Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a unique view of Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. The image showcases a bustling harbor scene with fishing boats dotting the Mediterranean Sea. The city's hillsides provide a picturesque backdrop, adding depth and character to this historic landscape. The photograph is an engraving featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned book by Edmund Ollier that delves into modern history. It captures Algiers during its period of French occupation following their invasion in 1830. This colonial era shaped much of Algeria's cultural identity and historical narrative. Intriguingly, the creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown; however, their skillful composition transports us through time to witness daily life in this vibrant coastal city. We see fishermen going about their work on rowing boats while background figures add scale and context to the scene. Through this monochrome snapshot, we are reminded not only of Algiers' geographical features but also its significance as an important trading hub between Europe and Africa. The photo evokes curiosity about how colonialism impacted both countries involved – France as colonizers and Algeria as a colony. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing vista captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder that every picture has stories to tell – tales woven within landscapes and people frozen in time.
