Around Gharda Melika: A Man in the Saharan Landscape of a Small Town in the Gharda Province, Circa 1910s This evocative photograph captures the essence of life in the Saharan town of Melika during the early 1900s. The image, part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a man standing in the arid landscape of the Gharda province, located in present-day Algeria. The vast, sun-scorched desert stretches out behind him, its golden sands dotted with the occasional tuft of vegetation. The small town of Melika, nestled amidst the seemingly endless expanse of sand, is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of its inhabitants. The town's simple, adobe buildings can be seen in the background, their flat roofs providing shelter from the relentless desert sun. The man, dressed in traditional clothing, appears to be deep in thought as he gazes out at the desolate landscape before him. The Gharda province, located in the heart of the Sahara Desert, is known for its extreme climate and challenging living conditions. Despite these challenges, the people of Melika and other towns in the region have managed to thrive, relying on agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade to sustain themselves. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when life in the Sahara was defined by the rhythms of the desert and the resilience of its people. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and harshness of the natural world, and the indomitable spirit of those who call it home.
