Travel Views of Morocco, 1904
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this North African country during the early 20th century. The image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases a bustling street scene filled with men dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing. In the foreground, an elderly man wearing a hooded, white and black robe, sits cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought. His attire, a traditional Moroccan djellaba, is adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, reflecting the country's unique artistic sensibilities. Behind him, a group of men, dressed in similar garments, engage in animated conversation. One man wears a red fez, a distinctive headpiece that was once a symbol of Moroccan identity. Another man, dressed in a long, flowing robe, holds a staff, possibly a sign of his religious or social status. The photograph also captures the architectural beauty of Moroccan buildings. In the background, a grand, ornate structure with intricate arches and decorative tiles rises above the scene. The contrast between the ancient, traditional clothing and the modern, urban setting adds depth and intrigue to the image. This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe in 1904, provides a rare and valuable window into the daily life of Morocco during a time of great cultural and social change. The traditional clothing, religious practices, and architectural wonders depicted in the image continue to be an important part of Moroccan heritage and identity today.
