EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of Tangier's bustling marketplace in Morocco during the early 1900s. The scene centers around a group of Moorish confectioners, who have set up their trestle tables laden with an array of colorful sweets and pastries. The Moors, dressed in traditional robes and headdresses, engage with customers, their faces animated with the joy of selling and the delight of the buyers. The marketplace, teeming with activity, is situated in a lively square, filled with the sounds of haggling, the aroma of spices, and the sights of various wares being exchanged. The outdoor setting is bathed in soft sunlight, casting long shadows and adding depth to the image. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Tangier and the Moroccan people, showcasing their entrepreneurial spirit and their deep-rooted traditions. The Moors, an ethnic and religious group with Arab and Berber origins, have played a significant role in the history of Morocco and North Africa. Their influence can be seen in the architecture, language, and cuisine of the region. In Tangier, the Moors have long been known for their expertise in confectionery, producing an array of delicious sweets and pastries that continue to be popular among locals and tourists alike. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Tangier and the captivating nature of its people and their traditions. It invites us to step back in time and experience the charm and vibrancy of this North African city during a bygone era.
