EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Morocco, 1904" is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe that transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a scenic view of Morocco, with a cobblestone street winding its way through a bustling town. In the foreground, a group of men in traditional Moroccan clothing and headgear are seated on the ground, engaged in conversation. In the background, buildings with intricate architectural details rise up, overlooking the scene. The photograph also captures the daily life of the Moroccan people, with a man wearing a long white robe and a red fez hat walking along the cobbles, while another man tends to a group of livestock. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a donkey-drawn cart and a horse-drawn carriage, adding to the sense of hustle and bustle. The photograph is particularly noteworthy for its stunning use of contrasts. The white clothing of the people stands out against the dark cobblestones, while the black and white buildings create a striking backdrop. The image also captures the rich geographical features of Morocco, with the coastline visible in the distance and the sun casting long shadows over the scene. Arnold Genthe's "Travel Views of Morocco, 1904" is a testament to the photographer's skill in capturing the essence of a place and its people. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress and provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and traditions of Morocco over a century ago. The photograph was taken using a nitrate negative process, which adds to its historical significance and makes it a valuable piece of heritage art. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Morocco, as well as for those who appreciate the art of photography.
