EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Morocco, 1904" is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe that transports us back in time to the outskirts of a Moroccan town during the early 20th century. The image showcases a scene of daily life, with several men dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing and wearing turbans, gathered around their tents and horses. In the foreground, a man in a long, flowing robe and a red fez hat gazes directly at the camera with a curious expression, while another man, dressed in a simple white tunic and pants, rides a horse in the background. Pack animals, likely donkeys or mules, are tethered nearby, adding to the bustling camp scene. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and culture of Morocco during this era, with the men's clothing and accessories providing a glimpse into the country's traditional dress. The horses and pack animals further emphasize the nomadic lifestyle that was common in the region at the time. Arnold Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured this moment with exceptional skill, using a nitrate negative to create a stunning image. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress' collection, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the diverse and fascinating world that existed over a century ago. The scene is a beautiful blend of city and town life, with the camp situated on the outskirts of a Moroccan settlement. The photograph invites us to imagine the daily routines and stories of the people in the image, and to appreciate the unique beauty of Morocco's environs.
