It is astonishing how widespread & omnipresent #ColonialAdverts for (French) alcohol were in the cities of #ColonialAlgeria. Here is a photograph showing an advert for the apéritif "Amer Picon" on a tram in Algiers in 1920. #DrinkingStudies #FrenchColonialism #AlcoholInIslam 🗃️🍸
Black and white image of a 1920s tram. A group of men are standing in the tram, looking at the photographer, with some of them waving. Above the tram is an advert for "Amer Picon". Behind the tram, you can see a statue, more people and palm trees. Available via Gallica: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k5583239w/f13.item

I love coming across lists of the alcohol available in #ColonialAlgeria. This here is an advertisement in "Les Clochettes Algériennes et Tunisiennes" from 1902. There are some Algerian products - like "Anisette Gras" - but most are imported from France! #FrenchColonialism #DrinkingStudies 🗃️🍸
This is a printed list, in two columns, of various brand names of alcohol, some printed in bold, many in different fonts. Amongst the alcohol, "Beurre et Fromages des Alpes" is also listed, as well as "Pétrole, Sel, Farines, Cafés". All of these products were available at "Roussel et Coste" in Constantine.
