EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and rugged terrain of the road to Aïn El Turk in Oran, Algeria during the 1910s. Two horse-drawn carriages make their way along the winding mountainous path, with their passengers gazing out at the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The through-cut, carved into the rocky cliffs, allows for travel between the coastal city of Oran and the interior regions of the country. The journey would have been a challenging one, requiring both physical endurance and the strength of the horses to navigate the steep inclines and uneven terrain. The region's unique topography, characterized by its rugged mountains and coastal plains, is a testament to the natural beauty of North Africa. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when travel was a more laborious and adventurous endeavor. The horse-drawn carriages, with their elegant lines and intricate details, add to the nostalgic charm of the image, making it a captivating and timeless piece of history.
