EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unique blend of cultures and landscapes that define the Algerian oasis town of Biskra, circa 1920. Nestled amidst the arid dunes of the Sahara Desert, this native village stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of its inhabitants. The desert setting is brought to life by the presence of several camels, their humped silhouettes contrasting against the backdrop of the sun-baked earth. The villagers, dressed in traditional Arab garb, are shown going about their daily routines, oblivious to the intrusion of the camera. The narrow, winding streets are lined with low-slung, earthen buildings, their flat rooftops providing a communal space for socializing and shelter during the harsh desert summers. The architecture, a fusion of Berber and Arab influences, is a testament to the rich history and diversity of Algeria's people. Transport in Biskra was primarily reliant on camels, as seen in the photograph with several animals tethered near the buildings. These animals were not only used for transportation but also for milk, meat, and as a source of leather. The camels' ability to thrive in the desert conditions made them an essential part of the community's daily life. Biskra's location near the Algerian-Tunisian border and its proximity to the Sahara Desert have made it a significant cultural and historical site. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing a window into the lives of the native people and their connection to their environment.
