EDITORS COMMENTS
Tlemcen, Vue générale; Afrique du Nord, 1914" is a stunning photograph capturing a breathtaking view of the city of Tlemcen in Algeria during the early 20th century. The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, showcases the picturesque landscape of this North African city, which was then a French colony. The photograph presents a panoramic view of Tlemcen, with its distinctive rocky outcrops and rock faces dominating the background. The city, nestled at the foot of these natural formations, appears as a small white speck against the rugged terrain. The image also reveals the lush greenery of the countryside, with fields and trees stretching out towards the horizon. Tlemcen, located in western Algeria, has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. It was an important Roman and Islamic city, and its architectural heritage is reflected in the mosques, palaces, and fortifications that can still be seen today. The French colonization of Algeria in the late 19th century brought about significant changes to the city, as European influences began to shape its urban landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing a fascinating insight into the history and culture of Tlemcen and North Africa during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the African continent, and serves as a reminder of the complex and intriguing history that connects Europe and Africa. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images of Africa and its colonies. The black and white format adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a captivating and evocative piece of visual history.
