EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print depicts a bustling scene at a North African port during the French colonial era, showcasing the French National Loan campaign for the Credit Foncier d'Algérie et de Tunisie in the year 1920. The poster, titled "Algerie et Tunisie - Aidez-nous à réunir 100 Millions de Francs" (Algeria and Tunisia - Help us raise 100 Million Francs), was produced to encourage French citizens to invest in the development of the two North African territories. The image portrays a vibrant and dynamic harbor, filled with ships of various sizes and nationalities, as well as a crowd of people on the dockside. Men in European attire, wearing hats and suits, are seen actively engaging in business transactions, while North African men in traditional clothing are shown working on the docks or observing the scene. The busy atmosphere is further emphasized by the steam from the ships and the smoke rising from the factories in the background. The Credit Foncier d'Algérie et de Tunisie was a French financial institution established in 1856 to promote economic development in Algeria and Tunisia. The institution played a significant role in financing infrastructure projects, such as ports, railways, and irrigation systems, which contributed to the growth of the territories' agricultural and industrial sectors. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the rich history of French colonialism in North Africa and the economic ties that bound France to its African territories. The image not only captures the spirit of the era but also underscores the importance of financial investment in shaping the economic landscape of the region.
