EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph captures the enchanting view of the ancient city of Marrakech, Morocco, in North Africa during the 1800s. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. Goedsche's ethnographic collection aimed to document various peoples and their customs, costumes, and historical sites from around the world. Marrakech, the 'Pearl of the South,' is depicted as a bustling city with its vibrant souks (markets), red-roofed buildings, and the iconic Koutoubia Mosque dominating the skyline. The intricate geometric patterns on the buildings and the winding streets filled with people and animals create a sense of energy and life. The lush palm groves and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the background add to the breathtaking beauty of the scene. The lithograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Morocco during the 19th century. The traditional clothing of the people, including the long, flowing djellabas and fez hats, are distinctively Moroccan. The camels and donkeys laden with goods add to the bustling atmosphere of the city. This image is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history, anthropology, or ethnography of North Africa and the Middle East. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the lithograph bring the city of Marrakech to life, transporting the viewer to a different time and place.
