EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Morocco's Meknes Souk, or covered market, in the 1920s. The narrow, winding streets of the Medina, the old walled city, lead to this vibrant commercial hub, where merchants sold a wide array of goods. The Souk's thinly covered roof, supported by intricately carved wooden sticks, provides shelter from the elements while allowing the sun's rays to filter in, creating an ethereal glow. The Islamic architectural influences are evident in the arches and intricate geometric patterns adorning the walls and ceilings. The market's labyrinthine layout adds to the sense of discovery and adventure, as shoppers navigate the maze of stalls selling textiles, spices, ceramics, and more. Despite the passage of time and the encroachment of modernity, the Souk in Meknes remains a vital part of Moroccan culture and daily life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sights, sounds, and smells of the market were a regular part of everyday life for the people of Meknes and beyond. The Souk's enduring appeal lies in its ability to showcase the richness and diversity of Moroccan heritage, as well as the resilience and adaptability of its people. This photograph is a testament to the power of tradition and the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
