EDITORS COMMENTS
Rue de la Grande Seguia," or the Road of the Great Route, in Laghouat, Algeria, circa 1910s, is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the colonial era of North Africa. The image, taken during the French rule, showcases a dusty, winding road that stretches out before us, flanked by arid, rocky terrain and low-lying shrubs. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, adding depth and texture to the scene. Laghouat, located in central Algeria, was an important stop on the historic trans-Saharan trade route, known as the "Grande Seguia." This route connected the Mediterranean coast to the interior of Africa, facilitating the exchange of goods between Europe, the Maghreb, and sub-Saharan Africa. The road in this photograph likely served as a vital link in this extensive network of trade, enabling the transportation of valuable commodities such as salt, gold, and slaves. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the harsh yet beautiful conditions of the North African landscape during the colonial period. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that once took place in this region, as well as the challenges and resilience of those who traversed the arid terrain. The photograph, with its intriguing backstory and historical significance, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on North African history, colonialism, or the trans-Saharan trade route. This image invites us to explore the stories and experiences of the past, providing a window into a time long gone.
