EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Morocco, 1904" is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe that transports us back in time to the vibrant streets of Morocco during the early 20th century. The image showcases a bustling scene of daily life, with cobbled streets lined with traditional buildings and men dressed in colorful clothing. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the era, expertly captured the unique character of this North African country. In the foreground, a man wearing a traditional Moroccan costume, complete with a fez and long djellaba robe, leads a pack animal laden with goods. The animal's harness and the man's clothing provide a striking contrast against the whitewashed walls and arched doorways of the buildings behind. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Moroccan culture, with men wearing various styles of traditional dress, some in simple white garments, others in more ornate and colorful attire. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a group of men gathered in the street, engaged in conversation or observing the photographer. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the photograph's historical significance, as this photographic process was popular during the early 1900s but later fell out of favor due to its flammability. Today, this image serves as an invaluable record of Moroccan life over a century ago, and a testament to the enduring allure of travel and exploration. This photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural resources that continues to inspire and inform us about the world and its rich diversity.
