EDITORS COMMENTS
ALGIERS: CHESS GAME, c1899. This print captures a moment of intellectual engagement and camaraderie on the streets of Algiers in the late 19th century. A group of black Algerian men gathers around a chessboard, deeply engrossed in a strategic battle of wits. Dressed in traditional robes and turbans, their presence adds an air of authenticity to this timeless scene. The composition is rich with details that transport us back to this bygone era. The street is lined with trellises adorned with vibrant vines, while a spectator leans against a straw mat, watching the game unfold intently. The players themselves exude concentration as they contemplate their next moves. What strikes us most about this image is the sense of friendship and connection among these individuals. Despite any language barriers or cultural differences that may exist between them, it is clear that their shared love for chess has brought them together in harmony. This photochrome print beautifully captures the essence of turn-of-the-century Algiers – a place where intellectual pursuits transcended societal boundaries and fostered unity among diverse communities. It serves as a reminder that games like chess have always had the power to bridge gaps and create bonds between people from all walks of life.
