EDITORS COMMENTS
Le quatorze juillet a Rabat - Remise de decorations par le general Lyautey" is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, specifically from 1916. The image, which is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" from "La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" in "L'Illustration" magazine, depicts a significant moment in Moroccan history. The photograph captures the ceremonial awarding of decorations by General Hubert Lyautey, a French military officer who served as the Resident-General of Morocco from 1912 to 1925. The decorations are being bestowed upon Moroccan soldiers in the presence of Sultan Moulay Youssef, who is seated on a throne-like chair, dressed in traditional attire. The scene takes place in Rabat, Morocco, where the Sultan and the Resident-General were residing at the time. The event was part of the Bastille Day celebrations, which were marked with considerable attendance from the indigenous population. The photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial era in North Africa, where France held significant influence over Morocco. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between the French military forces and the Moroccan people during this period. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, stand at attention, displaying a mix of pride and reverence as they receive their decorations. The buildings in the background add to the sense of occasion, creating a striking contrast between the European and Moroccan elements. Overall, this photograph is an intriguing snapshot of history, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of colonialism, military culture, and national identity in the early 20th century.
