EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by George Denholm Armour in 1891, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper." The image offers a glimpse into the bustling activity of the Moroccan port city of Tangier during the Victorian era. In the foreground, several men in traditional Moroccan attire are seen hoisting bullocks from the deck of a cargo ship using cranes. The animals, with their powerful forms and determined expressions, appear calm as they are lifted and lowered, ready to begin their new lives in their unfamiliar surroundings. The background is filled with a vibrant scene of activity. Other men are busy unloading cargo from the ship, while boats filled with onlookers dot the water. The city of Tangier can be seen in the distance, with its white buildings and winding streets. The photograph is a testament to the extensive cattle trade that took place between Britain and Morocco during the 19th century. The animals were transported across the Mediterranean Sea to supply the growing demand for livestock in Europe. The image also highlights the advanced technology used for cargo transportation during this time, with the cranes and hoisting machinery playing a crucial role in the efficient unloading of the ships. Overall, "The Cattle Trade -- Landing Bullocks at Tangier, Morocco," is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the interconnectedness of the global economy and the ingenuity of the people involved in it.
