EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as a French family prepares to embark on a journey to Algeria, then a French colony, in 1888. The image showcases the intricate details of travel during this time period, with two servants accompanying the family and porters carrying their luggage. The scene is filled with anticipation and activity as the family readies themselves for their voyage. The patriarch stands tall and proud, overseeing the preparations while his wife tends to their children. The servants bustle about, ensuring that everything is packed and ready for the long journey ahead. In the background, we see bustling docks and ships ready to set sail for distant lands. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when travel was an arduous but exciting adventure filled with unknown possibilities. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the complexities of colonialism and how it shaped relationships between nations and peoples.
