EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant street scene in Tenes, the chief town of the Chief Province in northern Algeria, during the 1930s. The image showcases a bustling and lively atmosphere, with people going about their daily business and socializing in the shade of trees lining the pavement. In the background, the distinctive silhouette of Hotel Pouzens stands proudly, its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof contrasting sharply against the blue sky. A Shell petrol pump is visible to the right, adding a touch of modernity to the scene. The tables and chairs set up along the pavement in front of cafes invite passersby for a refreshing drink or a leisurely conversation. The pavement is filled with a mix of cars and transport vehicles, adding to the sense of movement and activity. The trees, lush and green, provide a welcome respite from the heat of the sun. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a cup of coffee and a chat with friends were cherished moments. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Algeria and the vibrant street life that continues to thrive in its towns and cities to this day.
