Taken by an unknown photographer, this image showcases Oujda, a city located in North Africa's Maghreb region. The photograph is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the early 20th-century era. The scene depicts the intersection between European influence and Arab civilization as French military personnel are seen alongside Moroccan locals.

The composition highlights various elements such as human figures, transportation vehicles, and architectural details that provide insight into life during this time. It serves as a historical document capturing not only the military presence but also customs and daily life activities. Stefano Bianchetti's expertly preserved print brings forth these intricate details with clarity and precision.
