EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned French explorer and photographer, Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, in 1914. The image is a stunning representation of Rabat, the Moroccan capital city located on the Atlantic Ocean coast. The photograph, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the city's rich history and cultural blend. The image opens up to a breathtaking view of the Rabat waterfront, where traditional Moroccan boats are anchored, ready for water transport. In the background, the Alcazaba, a fortified citadel, stands tall and proud, a testament to the city's long and complex history. The Kasbah, a labyrinthine quarter of Rabat, can be seen nestled at the foot of the citadel, its whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs creating a striking contrast against the blue Atlantic Ocean. The photograph also reveals the presence of French colonial influence, with European buildings and transport infrastructure visible in the background. The Keystone Archive print captures the unique blend of African and European cultures that characterized Rabat during the early 20th century. The image is a vibrant representation of the geographical features of North Africa, with the Atlantic Ocean's calming waters providing a serene backdrop to the bustling city. The boats in the foreground add a sense of movement and transport, while the fortifications and buildings in the background speak of a rich history and colonial past. Jules Gervais-Courtellemont's photograph of Rabat, Afrique du Nord, is a beautiful and evocative snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of a city that has long been a melting pot of African and European cultures. The print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of North Africa, colonialism, or simply the beauty of the world around us.
