EDITORS COMMENTS
Bombardment of Algiers, 27 August 1816: A Moment Frozen in Time This evocative image captures the chaos and destruction wrought by the Bombardment of Algiers on 27 August 1816. The French naval fleet, under the command of Admiral Rosily-Mesros, bombarded the Algerian capital in retaliation for the kidnapping of French consul, De Rivière, and the ensuing refusal of the Dey of Algiers to comply with the demands for his release. The photograph, taken in the 1810s, depicts the aftermath of the bombardment, with smoke billowing from the ruins of buildings and the African people of Algiers fleeing for safety in the streets. The fiery explosions and the destruction of structures are a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the bombing on the North African city. The Bombardment of Algiers marked a significant turning point in the history of Algeria and France's relationship. It paved the way for the French conquest of Algeria, which began in 1830 and lasted until 1962. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into a moment in history that forever changed the course of Algeria's future. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on this pivotal moment in history. It invites us to reflect on the human cost of conflict and the enduring impact of colonialism on the people of Algeria and North Africa as a whole.
