EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history during the Rif War (1920-6). Titled "Spanish Regulares around a captured Berber canon" the image showcases members of the Spanish army division known as the Regulares, composed of Moroccan volunteers. Taken in 1921, this Spanish postcard print provides a glimpse into early 20th-century colonialism and European involvement in North Africa. The scene depicts Spanish soldiers proudly surrounding a Berber cannon that they had successfully captured. The composition evokes a sense of power and triumph as these brave soldiers stand tall beside their conquest. Their uniforms reflect both their Moroccan heritage and their allegiance to Spain, symbolizing the merging of cultures within this military division. As we delve deeper into this historical context, it becomes evident that this photograph represents more than just an act of war. It signifies the complex relationship between Spain and its African colonies during this time period. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from the early twentieth century, allowing us to explore not only political dynamics but also cultural exchanges between Europe and Arab civilization. This print serves as a visual testament to an era defined by imperialism, government control, and territorial disputes. Its presence reminds us of our shared history while offering an opportunity for reflection on past events that have shaped our present world.
