Abziza Farm: A Peaceful Scene of Agricultural Life in Early Twentieth-Century Algeria This photograph, taken circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the beautiful grounds of Abziza Farm in Blida, Algeria. The image features a man, identified as B. Mered, standing amongst his loyal canine companions amidst the lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The serene atmosphere is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the farmer, who tended to this land with great care. The farm, located in the Beni M'rada region, was likely a source of pride for its owner. The rich soil, nurtured by the Mediterranean climate, allowed for a diverse range of crops and gardens to flourish. The man's presence, along with his dogs, underscores the importance of animals in agricultural life, as they were essential for plowing the fields and protecting the livestock. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the cultural landscape of Algeria during this period. The traditional Algerian clothing worn by the man, as well as the architectural style of the buildings in the background, provide context to the time and place. The scene is a beautiful representation of the harmony between humans, animals, and nature, which is still a cherished aspect of rural life in Algeria today. This photograph, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the rich history and agricultural traditions that have shaped the landscape of Algeria. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and resilience of rural communities, as they continue to cultivate the land and preserve their heritage.
