EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Travel Views of Morocco" by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The image showcases a serene scene of a Moroccan caravan resting in the arid desert landscape. The caravan, led by a group of camels laden with goods, is a testament to the traditional mode of transportation in this North African country during that era. The camels, with their humps and long, curved necks, seem to blend seamlessly with the golden sand dunes, creating a mesmerizing tableau. The human element in the photograph adds an intriguing layer to the image. A man, dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, sits with his head in his hands, perhaps taking a moment of respite from the long journey. His clothing, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is a stunning example of the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. The other men in the scene, dressed similarly, are engaged in various activities, such as tending to the livestock or preparing the campsite. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, showcases the stark contrast between the white and black elements in the scene. The white clothing of the men stands out against the black backdrop of the desert, adding depth and dimension to the image. The traditional Moroccan costumes, with their colorful patterns and intricate details, are a testament to the country's rich fashion history. This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe in 1904, is a fascinating glimpse into the past. It offers a unique perspective into the daily life of the Moroccan people during that era and showcases the beauty and diversity of the Moroccan landscape. The Library of Congress, where this photograph is housed, is fortunate to have this heritage art piece in its collection.
