This photochrome print of a scene in Constantine (present-day Qacentina), Algeria, is part of “Views of People and Sites in Algeria” from the catalog of the Detroit Publishing Company (1905). The print features a waterfall in one of the ravines that border the city, which, according to the 1911 edition of Baedeker’s The Mediterranean, seaports and searoutes: Handbook for Travellers, “present a most impressive scene, especially during the melting of the snow or after heavy rain,” and which are traversed by three bridges and contain the ruins of a Roman bridge and aqueduct. Baedeker’s described the town as “typically Berber in its difficulty of access,” because it “lies on a chalky limestone plateau, descending…to the Ravine of the Rhumel.” The plateau is the focus of the city, and “the chief centres of trade and manufacture are still the native quarters, resembling the Kasba of Algiers, the picturesque charm of which has so far been marred by the construction of but a few new streets.”
