EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe that transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases a vibrant and bustling scene in Morocco, a North African country known for its rich history and cultural diversity. In the foreground, a group of men, dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing, gather around a military parade. The men, wearing white and black garments, some adorned with intricate patterns and others in simple robes, gaze intently at the parade. In the background, the fortifications of a Moroccan fort can be seen, their rugged walls standing tall against the clear blue sky. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the time. The men's clothing, with its long, flowing robes and intricate headwear, is a stark contrast to the Western-style military uniforms on display during the parade. The image also showcases the diverse crowd, with onlookers of all ages and backgrounds gathered to witness the event. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, expertly captures the essence of Morocco in this image. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the photograph's historical significance, as this photographic process was popular during the early 1900s. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important cultural and historical document, offering a window into the past and the unique heritage of Morocco.
