Boulevard Carnot and Square Bresson, Algiers, Algeria (circa 1910): A Glimpse into the Past of North Africa's Vibrant City This evocative photograph captures the essence of Algiers, Algeria's bustling metropolis in North Africa, during the early 1910s. The image, taken on Boulevard Carnot and Square Bresson, showcases the unique blend of European and African architectural styles that defined the city during this period. The grandeur of the European-style buildings, with their ornate facades and tall, arched windows, stands in stark contrast to the lush, palm-lined square, where African pedestrians in traditional clothing stroll along the pavement. The trees, with their fronds swaying gently in the breeze, provide a serene backdrop to the hustle and bustle of the city. Boulevard Carnot, a wide, tree-lined avenue, stretches out in the background, inviting exploration of the city's diverse neighborhoods. The road is filled with a mix of horse-drawn carriages and automobiles, reflecting the city's modernization during this era. The intersection of Boulevard Carnot and Square Bresson serves as a microcosm of the rich cultural tapestry that defines Algiers. The city's European and African inhabitants coexist harmoniously, creating a vibrant and dynamic urban environment that continues to captivate visitors to this day. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and character of Algiers during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich past and its enduring allure as a cultural and historical destination.
