Street Scenes, Algeria
In the previous post, a French postcard publisher showed the French presence in Algeria. In this post, ordinary, day to day life. I couldn't find any information on the publisher, but with the English captions, and a stamp box on the back that gives stamp prices for the United States and Canada...well, I may be wrong, but I doubt anyone in north Africa ever saw this card. Note the copyright date of 1909. This card could have been sold for decades, but does the copyright date reflect when the photos were taken, or when the card was offered for sale?
