Fez, Morocco, 1912 (1914): A Glimpse into the Past through the Doors of the Mechoir This lithograph, titled "Fez. Les portes du Mechoir; Afrique du nord," was published in the renowned French geography magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past of Fez, Morocco, during the early 20th century. The image showcases the stunning entrance to the Mechoir, a historic district in Fez, Morocco. The area, also known as the Kasbah or the Casbah, is a labyrinth of narrow streets and ancient buildings, enclosed by fortifications and castle-like structures. The Mechoir's entrance is adorned with a beautiful keystone arch, which frames the way in and invites us to explore the mysteries that lie within. This print transports us back in time to the 1910s, when Morocco was still a French protectorate. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the buildings, people, and square outside the entrance, as well as the castle-like Alcazaba in the background, give us a sense of the rich history and culture of this North African country. The image also highlights the architectural beauty and grandeur of the Fez medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries. The Mechoir's entrance stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Morocco's past, and this print serves as a reminder of the captivating allure and intrigue that continues to draw visitors to this fascinating continent.
