EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-010912-0000" transports us back in time to the vibrant streets of Algiers during the late 19th or early 20th century. The image captures an enchanting scene of an open-air show, where a diverse audience of Algerians gathers to witness the spectacle unfolding before them. In the foreground, we see a group of men engrossed in relaxation and leisure activities. Dressed in traditional costumes that exude masculinity and cultural pride, they immerse themselves in games and pastimes. Their attire offers a glimpse into the fashion and clothing trends prevalent among Algerian communities at that time. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we are greeted by a breathtaking view of Algiers - its majestic cityscape serving as a backdrop to this lively street scene. The panorama reveals bustling streets filled with life, showcasing both architectural beauty and signs of daily activity. The photograph also provides valuable insights into anthropology, ethnography, and folklore by capturing glimpses of negroid populations within Algeria's diverse population mosaic. It serves as a window into their traditions, customs, and ways of life. Taken by P. Z. , one can appreciate the skillful composition that brings together various elements seamlessly – from action-packed performances on stage to individuals engaged in animated conversations offstage. This remarkable piece is part of Alinari's collection curated by Photoglob & Co. , offering us an invaluable visual documentation not only for historical purposes but also for appreciating Algeria's rich cultural heritage. Let this print transport you back in time while celebrating the resilience and diversity found within Algerian society throughout history.
