EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Casablanca, Morocco in the 1920s. It showcases the ubiquitous motor buses that were a lifeline for both locals and travelers alike. Packed with natives from various towns and villages, these desert motor buses were on the brink of embarking on long journeys across the Sahara. The image captures a sense of anticipation as passengers eagerly await departure, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity about what lies ahead in distant destinations within the interior. The dusty road serves as a backdrop, symbolizing both adventure and challenge that awaits these brave souls. Transportation played a vital role in connecting communities during this era, bridging gaps between remote areas and urban centers. These motor buses became an essential mode of travel for those seeking opportunities or simply wanting to explore new horizons. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported not only through time but also into an era where travel was more arduous yet filled with endless possibilities. It reminds us of our shared human desire to venture beyond familiar territories and discover what lies beyond our comfort zones. Preserved by Central News, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not just vehicles or roads but also stories of resilience, determination, and cultural exchange that unfolded along these desert routes.
