EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Morocco, 1904" is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe, showcasing a vibrant and bustling scene from the heart of Morocco during the early 20th century. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich culture, history, and daily life of this North African country. In the foreground, a group of Moroccan men dressed in traditional clothing and wearing colorful turbans and fez hats, engage in trade at an open-air market. The market is filled with an array of produce, baskets stacked high with fruits, vegetables, and other goods, and intricately woven baskets made of rushes and bamboo. In the background, a cobbled street winds its way through the town, leading to a magnificent archway and a row of buildings adorned with intricate architectural features. The archway, made of white and black stones, is a testament to the country's rich heritage and the influence of Arab and European architecture. A man on horseback rides along the street, adding to the lively scene. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of thatched roofs and the sight of men wearing traditional Moroccan costumes, which contrast sharply with the modern clothing of the European traveler, who may have been capturing this moment on film. This photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is a stunning example of the work of Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer known for his travel images and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. The photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring value as a record of a bygone era.
