EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the North African country of Algeria in the year 1908, depicts a group of local domino players in an intense and focused game. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, during the French colonial rule of Algeria. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the only source of light coming from a single oil lamp suspended from the ceiling. The players, dressed in traditional African attire, wear turbans and long robes, their faces illuminated by the flickering light. Their intense concentration is palpable as they carefully place their dominoes on the table, their hands steady and sure. Dominos, a popular game in many cultures, is believed to have originated in the Caribbean and was introduced to North Africa through the transatlantic slave trade. By the late 1800s and early 1900s, it had become a common pastime in Algeria, particularly among the local population. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Algerians during the colonial era, providing a window into their traditions and customs. It also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in North Africa, a region with a complex and fascinating history. Despite the passage of time, the game of dominos continues to be popular in Algeria and throughout the African continent. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring appeal of the game but also a reminder of the resilience and strength of African cultures in the face of colonialism and globalization.
