EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Cursing the Christians, a Ride through the Bazaars of Fez on the Way to Tangier" captures a vibrant scene from 19th-century Morocco. Created by French artist Durand Godefroy in 1892, this artwork offers a glimpse into the bustling streets and traditional dress of Fez. In this image, we are transported to a time when Tangier was still an exotic destination for travelers. The bazaars come alive with activity as people navigate their way through narrow alleyways filled with colorful stalls and goods. The locals, dressed in their traditional attire, seem to be engaged in animated conversation while casting disapproving glances towards passing Christians. Durand's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving. From the intricate patterns adorning buildings and textiles to the expressions on each character's face, he skillfully brings this moment in history to life. The composition draws our eyes deeper into the scene, inviting us to explore further and discover more hidden stories within these ancient walls. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also provides valuable insights into Moroccan culture during that era. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with different cultures and appreciate their rich heritage. As we gaze upon "Cursing the Christians" we are reminded of both its artistic beauty and its historical significance—a testament to Durand Godefroy's talent as an artist capturing moments frozen forever in time
