This charming souvenir postcard, dated circa 1910, showcases the picturesque scene of Guelma, a historic town located in the northeastern region of Algeria in North Africa. The postcard captures the essence of this African gem, with its beautiful, vibrant flowers blooming in the foreground, adding a splash of color to the scene. In the background, the majestic buildings of Guelma stand tall, their architectural grandeur a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this North African town. The valley in which Guelma is situated is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, with lush greenery and rolling hills that stretch as far as the eye can see. The town itself is steeped in history, with its origins dating back to ancient Roman times. Over the centuries, it has been ruled by various civilizations, including the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, and the Ottomans, each leaving their unique mark on the town's architecture and culture.
