EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Old Biskra, Algeria during the 1910s. The image features an elderly man, dressed in traditional North African attire, standing next to a house made of clay-like materials. The house, with its earthy hue and simple yet intricate architectural details, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The house, located on the corner of a narrow, dusty street, is just one of many similar structures that once dotted the landscape of this ancient Algerian village. The use of clay as a primary building material was a common practice in Old Biskra due to the abundance of the resource in the area. The houses, often referred to as huts or ksour, were designed to withstand the extreme desert climate. Their thick walls provided insulation against the scorching heat during the day and the cold nights. The intricate designs and patterns adorning the exterior walls were not only aesthetically pleasing but also served a functional purpose, helping to keep the houses cool during the summer months. The elderly man in the photograph seems to be deep in thought, perhaps reflecting on the past or the simple joys of life. His presence adds a sense of humanity and history to the scene, making it all the more captivating. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Old Biskra and its people during a bygone era. This image is a reminder of the beauty and resilience of traditional North African architecture and the unique character of the villages that once thrived in this region of Algeria.
