This photochrome print from Constantine (present-day Qacentina), Algeria, is part of “Views of People and Sites in Algeria” from the catalog of the Detroit Publishing Company (1905). It depicts men passing by and vendors selling their wares on one of the lively, picturesque, crooked streets outside of the city’s gates. The town is described in the 1911 edition of Baedeker’s The Mediterranean, seaports and searoutes: Handbook for Travellers as “typically Berber in its difficulty of access,” since 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.”
