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). The town was described in the 1911 edition of Baedeker’s The Mediterranean, seaports and sea routes: Handbook for Travellers as “typically Berber in its difficulty of access.” This print features one of the deep ravines bordering the city. The city was called Cirta in classical times, but the Emperor Constantine had it rebuilt and renamed to honor him. A center of trade and invasion for centuries, Constantine attracted Arabs, Genoese, Venetians, displaced Jews, and Ottoman Turks. Baedeker’s described part of the town as “resembling the Kasba of Algiers, the picturesque charm of which has so far been marred by the construction of but a few new streets.”
