Avenue de Lacroix and Royal Hotel, Biskra, Algeria (circa 1910): A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph transports us back in time to the sun-drenched streets of Biskra, Algeria during the early 1910s. The Avenue de Lacroix, lined with large, shade-giving trees, is a bustling thoroughfare filled with the sounds and sights of daily life. The white buildings with intricate arches and porticos, reminiscent of traditional Arab architecture, stand proudly along the avenue, their flags fluttering in the gentle breeze. The grandeur of the Royal Hotel, a symbol of French colonial influence, is a striking contrast to the simple homes and shops that surround it. The hotel, with its imposing tower and ornate archways, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The pavement is filled with people, both European and Arab, going about their daily business, adding to the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of this North African town. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the textures and colors of the buildings and the people, making this photograph a beautiful and evocative reminder of a bygone era.
