EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Rue d'Arzew in Oran, Algeria, circa 1910s. The bustling street is lined with vibrant buildings, each adorned with intricate architectural details that reflect the rich cultural heritage of this North African city. In the heart of the scene, a horse-drawn carriage passes by, seemingly unfazed by the modern electric tram making its way down the street. The tram, a symbol of the French colonial influence, is adorned with the logo of the Menier Chocolade Fabriken, a popular European chocolate brand at the time. The overhead wires and the intricate details of the tram's design showcase the technological advancements that had reached this part of the world. The men in traditional Algerian attire, engaged in conversation on the sidewalk, add a sense of authenticity to the scene. Rue d'Arzew was known for its bustling markets, cafes, and shops, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant daily life of Oran during the early 20th century. The street's name, Rue d'Arzew, is still in use today, making this photograph a fascinating historical record of a place that continues to be an integral part of Algeria's rich and complex history.
