"Algerienne: A Glimpse into the Conquest of Algeria (1830-1847)" Step back in time to witness the historical events that shaped Algeria's destiny. In this captivating painting, "Attack of Algiers by sea, " we are transported to July 3rd, 1830, as the French fleet under Admiral Duperre launches a daring assault on Algiers. Antoine Leon Morel-Fatio skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this pivotal moment. As we delve deeper into Algerian culture, we encounter an intriguing mode of transportation known as Attatich. These large cages made from intertwined palm stalks and adorned with colorful wool pompoms were not only used for carrying women and children but also served as vessels for food, carpets, and utensils. In another fascinating illustration titled "Lettre K Kroumir, " found in the "Petit alphabet illustre, " we catch a glimpse of life during the conquest. This engraving provides insight into daily activities and showcases various aspects of Algerian society. Eugene Giraud's masterpiece "Women of Algiers" transports us to an Orientalist world filled with beauty and mystery. The capture of Smalah (Smala) is depicted here—a significant event during the conquest—where Eugene masterfully portrays both strength and vulnerability. The Capture of Setif in Algeria by Duke d'Orleans' troops comes alive through Adrien's brushstrokes. This painting immortalizes a crucial victory that marked France's progress in its quest for dominance over Algeria. A portrait emerges before our eyes—General Governor Eugene Cavaignac stands tall as he oversees his responsibilities in Algeria. Ary skillfully captures Cavaignac's determination and leadership qualities—an embodiment of France's presence during this period. The Hotel de la Depeche Algerienne stands proudly amidst bustling Algiers—a symbol representing colonial influence on local architecture while serving as a hub for communication and news dissemination.
