EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating aerial view of Place de France in Casablanca, Morocco, circa 1930, showcases an enchanting blend of modernity and tradition. The vibrant scene is dominated by the distinctive Art Deco architectural styles of two iconic structures: Galeries Lafayette de Paris and the Vox Cinema. Galeries Lafayette de Paris, a renowned French department store, stands proudly at the heart of the square, its elegant facade reflecting the European influence that permeated Morocco during this era. The store's intricate design, with its curved lines and geometric patterns, epitomizes the Art Deco movement that swept across the globe in the 1920s and 1930s. Adjacent to Galeries Lafayette, the Vox Cinema beckons with its marquee, featuring the silhouettes of the legendary comedy duo, Laurel and Hardy. The cinema, a symbol of entertainment and culture, adds to the cosmopolitan allure of Casablanca. A Laurel and Hardy film is playing, no doubt bringing laughter and joy to the Moroccan audience. The bustling streets and roads surrounding Place de France are a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place in Casablanca during the 1930s. This aerial view offers a unique perspective, inviting us to explore the history and charm of this North African city during an era of transformation and global connection.
