EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Essaouira, a coastal town in Morocco. The image showcases a picturesque scene where fishing boats peacefully rest below the towering ramparts of the old fort. The fort's architectural grandeur and historical significance are evident, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of this North African region. The vibrant colors of the boats contrast beautifully against the clear blue sky, creating a visually stunning composition. The arched bridge adds an element of charm to the picture, symbolizing both protection and defense. It is a testament to tradition and signifies how these structures have stood strong throughout history. The medium group of objects in the background gives us a glimpse into daily life in Essaouira, with people going about their routines against this backdrop of beauty and history. This image encapsulates not only the natural beauty but also highlights Moroccan culture through its traditional architecture and transportation methods. Stuart Black/Robert Harding has skillfully captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to travel back to an era when forts like these played crucial roles in safeguarding communities along Africa's Atlantic coast. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization, it is essential to preserve our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
