EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the Royal Hotel in Biskra, Algeria, during the 1910s. Located in the heart of the city, the hotel's impressive south facade is a testament to the French colonial architecture that once dominated the region. The large, white building is adorned with intricate arches and a towering portico, creating an imposing presence on the bustling Avenue de Lacroix. The trees lining the avenue add a touch of greenery to the scene, providing a contrast to the pavement and the whitewashed walls of the building. People can be seen milling about on the street, dressed in the fashion of the era, adding a sense of life and energy to the image. The Algerian sun casts long shadows on the ground, highlighting the textures of the pavement and the intricate details of the hotel's architecture. The Algerian flag, proudly displayed atop the hotel, serves as a reminder of the country's rich history and cultural diversity. The flags of various European countries, which can be seen flying from other buildings in the background, are a testament to the region's complex colonial past. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Biskra was a popular destination for European travelers seeking the healing properties of its mineral-rich waters. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the history and cultural exchange that once took place in this North African city.
