EDITORS COMMENTS
Vue de Tanger; Afrique du Nord" (View of Tangier, North Africa), created by French photographer Charles Chusseau-Flaviens in 1914, is a captivating black and white image from the "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" (Great Illustrated Geography) publication. This photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling port city of Tangier, located in the Tangier Province of Morocco, during the early 20th century. The image showcases the vibrant waterfront, where traditional Moroccan boats and modern European vessels coexist. The quayside teems with activity, as people and goods are exchanged between the boats and the buildings that line the shore. The city's architecture is a blend of European and North African influences, with grand, colonial-style buildings standing proudly alongside traditional Moroccan structures. The image also highlights the rich cultural diversity of Tangier during this period, as it was a melting pot of European and North African influences, with the French, Spanish, and Italian colonies all vying for control of the city. The waterfront bustles with activity, as boats come and go, transporting goods and people between the continent and Europe. Chusseau-Flaviens' photograph captures the essence of the city's vibrant energy and the rich tapestry of cultures that came together in Tangier during the colonial era. The image is a testament to the city's history as a major trading hub and its enduring allure as a cultural and historical destination. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into a bygone era and shedding light on the complex history of colonialism in North Africa. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape Tangier and the wider region today.
