EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a street market in Ghardaia, Algeria during the 1910s. At the heart of the scene is a merchant skillfully displaying his luscious selection of melons and watermelons on a colorful stall. The customers, intrigued by the vibrant array of fruits, lean in for a closer look, their expressions a mix of curiosity and delight. The market, teeming with activity, is a testament to the thriving businesses that formed the backbone of Algerian communities during this era. The merchant's stall, with its piles of ripe melons and watermelons, represents the abundance and richness of the North African land. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a place where the exchange of goods and the sharing of stories were integral parts of daily life.
