EDITORS COMMENTS
A Powder Play On Foot, c1900" captures a captivating moment in time, showcasing the moors of Tangier engaging in military exercises or what is known as powder play. This remarkable photograph by Anthony Cavilla takes us back to early 20th century Morocco. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Grand Soko, this image portrays a group of men dressed in traditional costumes, exuding an air of strength and camaraderie. Horses stand proudly alongside them, adding to the sense of grandeur and power that permeates the scene. As wisps of smoke rise from their firearms, one can almost hear the thunderous sound echoing through the hillsides. The intensity on their faces reveals their dedication to honing their military skills while preserving age-old traditions. Cavilla's expertly captured aerial view allows us to appreciate not only the spectacle unfolding before our eyes but also offers a glimpse into Moroccan landscape and culture. The monochrome palette adds depth and timelessness to this snapshot frozen in history. This print from "The Sports of the World" publication by F. G. Aflalo serves as a testament to human resilience and determination across centuries. It reminds us that sports have always been an integral part of society - fostering unity, discipline, and pride among individuals who come together for a common purpose. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how tradition intertwines with progress on these ancient lands.
