EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe that transports us back in time to the vibrant and intriguing world of Morocco during the early 20th century. The image showcases a bustling scene of Moroccan life, with a group of people gathered around a watering trough where several carthorses quench their thirst. The direct gaze of the children and adults, dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing, as they look at the camera adds an intimate and engaging quality to the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured this moment with exceptional skill, using a nitrate negative to preserve the intricate details and textures of the scene. The contrast between the white and black clothing of the people and the brown hues of the horses and the earthy background creates a striking visual effect. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Morocco, with the men dressed in long robes and fez hats, and the women wearing colorful dresses and veils. The traditional Moroccan costumes, with their intricate patterns and designs, are a testament to the country's unique and diverse fashion history. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of historical images, providing a window into a bygone era and offering a fascinating insight into the daily life and customs of Morocco over a century ago. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of a world that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
