EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mont de Piete (Mont-de-Piete) in Algiers, Algeria. The engraving, featured in "Le Monde illustrious" in 1883, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the rich history of this North African city. The image captures the essence of misery and poverty that plagued Algiers during the 19th century. It serves as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by its inhabitants at that time. The unknown artist skillfully portrays the despair and pauperism prevalent in this Algerian community. The Mont de Piete itself is depicted with great detail, showcasing its grandeur amidst an otherwise bleak backdrop. This institution played a significant role in providing loans to those struggling financially, serving as both a symbol of hope and desperation for many Algerians. Stefano Bianchetti's expert restoration work has brought this historical engraving back to life, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value once again. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as a testament to Algeria's complex past. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece, we are reminded not only of Africa's diverse cultural heritage but also of our shared humanity across continents. This engraving stands as an important piece of Arab civilization's history while shedding light on social issues still relevant today.
