EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense fighting that erupted between Moroccans and French sailors in Casablanca. The colour litho, created by Carrey in the early 20th century, showcases a chaotic scene filled with warfare, violence, and military confrontation. The image depicts the aftermath of riots that broke out when local residents attacked the French who were constructing a light railway near the port. In response to this unrest, French troops were deployed to regain control over Casablanca effectively. This illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Parisien on August 25th, 1907. The clash between Moroccan civilians and French sailors is vividly portrayed through this artwork. The streets of Casablanca become a battleground as both sides engage in fierce combat. Gunshots can be heard echoing through the air as each group fights for dominance. This historical moment represents an uprising against colonialism and highlights tensions between France and Morocco during this period. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by North African nations under foreign rule. Bridgeman Images presents us with an opportunity to reflect on past conflicts while appreciating the artistic value of this print. Through its detailed depiction of battle scenes and raw emotions captured within it, we are transported back to a time where power dynamics clashed on the streets of Casablanca.
