EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Constantine, Algeria in 1936. The city, known as Cirta during the Roman period, was later renamed Constantina in honor of Emperor Constantine the Great. In this snapshot from a private album belonging to a passenger aboard the S. S. Arandora Star cruise ship, we are transported to an era where traditional costumes and bustling markets defined everyday life. The image captures a lively scene with pedestrians strolling along the road, both men and women dressed in their exquisite Arab attire. A young girl stands at the forefront, her eyes filled with curiosity as she observes her surroundings. The street is lined with shops and vendors selling their wares, creating a picturesque avenue that reflects the rich cultural heritage of this North African destination. With its monochrome charm and timeless appeal, this photograph offers us a glimpse into daily life in 20th-century Algeria. It serves as a reminder of how history shapes our present and allows us to appreciate the beauty found within different cultures across time. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection - not for commercial use - let's take a moment to immerse ourselves in its perspective and contemplate how much has changed since that day on April 9th, 1936 when it was captured forever through the lens of an adventurous traveler.
