EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this 19th century photograph of Ouled Nail street in Biskra, Algeria. The image transports us back in time, to an era of bygone days and rich cultural heritage. The narrow alleyway is lined with ancient houses, their brick facades adorned with intricate stonework and ornate doors, each one a testament to the indigenous ethnicity and unique tribal traditions of this historic town. The houses, some with multiple stories, are constructed with thick walls, a necessity in the arid climate. The steps leading up to the doors are worn smooth from the passage of countless feet, bearing witness to the daily life of the inhabitants. The exterior of the houses, with their grunge-covered walls and crumbling plaster, speak of a history that is both aged and enduring. The alleyway, with its arched doorways and low ceilings, creates an ethereal sense of enclosure, as if transporting us into a secret world. The houses, with their windows peering out, offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who once called this place home. This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, is a reminder of the urban landscape that once existed in Algeria, a landmark of its ethnographic and historic significance. The Ouled Nail street, with its traditional architecture, continues to draw tourists from around the world, who come to witness the beauty and charm of this ancient town.
