EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Opening of the Saida railway in Algeria, as illustrated in Le Petit Journal on February 18th, 1900. The vibrant color lithograph by Jose Belon (d. 1927) measures 43x30 cm and is part of a private collection. The image showcases a significant ceremony attended by male officials and dignitaries, symbolizing French colonialism and the process of colonisation. The Algerian flag proudly waves alongside the tricolore, representing both nations' presence during this monumental event. The attendees don an array of attire that reflects their cultural backgrounds and positions. Military uniforms with topees and pith helmets are worn alongside traditional costumes such as djellabas and turbans, creating a fascinating blend of Western influence with oriental aesthetics. Amongst these figures stands Edouard Laferriere (1841-1901), the General Governor who played a crucial role in overseeing this development. His presence signifies not only his authority but also highlights the Islamic heritage prevalent in North Africa. At the heart of this illustration lies the train itself - a powerful locomotive that represents progress, connectivity, and modernity. It serves as a testament to technological advancements brought forth by colonization while simultaneously transforming transportation within Algeria. This remarkable piece offers us insight into an important chapter in history when cultures intertwined through infrastructure development. It reminds us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance as we reflect upon our shared pasts.
