EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling Plaza de España in Tetouan, Morocco, circa 1910. The city of Tetouan, nestled in the scenic Rif Mountains of northern Morocco, holds a significant place in history as it was under Spanish influence for many years. In fact, from 1913 until Moroccan independence in 1956, Tetouan served as the capital of the Spanish protectorate of Morocco. The image captures the essence of this vibrant square with its charming blend of Spanish and Moroccan architecture. Surrounded by majestic mountains that provide a stunning backdrop, Plaza de España exudes an air of cultural richness and historical significance. Its lively atmosphere is palpable even through this monochrome depiction. As you gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, you can almost feel yourself transported to early 20th-century Tetouan. The intricate details within the photograph offer glimpses into daily life - locals going about their business amidst traditional Berber influences and Spanish colonial heritage. This remarkable piece serves not only as a visual delight but also as a testament to the unique geographical features and rich history that define both Spain and Morocco. It stands as a reminder of how different cultures can intertwine harmoniously to create something truly extraordinary.
