EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases French soldiers patrolling the streets of Casablanca after the city was bombarded. The colour litho, created by a 20th-century French School artist, captures the aftermath of a violent episode in Moroccan history. The image depicts the devastating consequences of riots that erupted when residents attacked French forces constructing a light railway near the port. In response to this unrest, France landed troops to regain control over Casablanca. The scene is one of destruction and chaos, with damaged buildings and rubble strewn across the streets. The presence of wounded and deceased bodies serves as a stark reminder of the casualties resulting from this colonial conflict. As these soldiers patrol through the city, their armed presence symbolizes both conquest and occupation. In addition to highlighting the military aspect, this photograph also sheds light on medical services during times of war. The injured are seen being tended to by healthcare professionals who provide essential medical supplies for their physical health. Overall, this powerful image encapsulates not only warfare but also themes such as colonialism and resistance in North Africa during this period. It serves as a historical record that invites viewers to reflect upon the complexities surrounding European imperialism in Morocco at that time.
