Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. Titled Cities and places of interest in the Mediterranean.45—ALGIERS WITH THE BOULEVARDS. Approaching nearer to the city—once the home of the most determined pirates and sea rovers, but now a fashionable spot where more than anything else, the manners and customs of Paris prevail —we see the splended white houses that compose the boulevards. Twenty-five years has worked a wondrous change in this city, and these imposing rows of houses now occupy the ground on which formerly stood alleys of foul and squalid dens, in which every kind of deed of infamy was perpetrated, and the inhabitants of which rendered the neighbourhood unsafe after nightfall. Now order and security reign, and the passer-by is as safe from molestation as in any ordinary European street. |
