EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of Tangier in 1903, captured by artist Mortimer L Menpes, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Morocco. The scene is bustling with activity as both men and women go about their daily lives under the warm glow of the sun. The market place comes alive with a kaleidoscope of colors and shadows, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Amidst this lively setting, we catch a glimpse of a street seller engrossed in his trade. His occupation remains unknown but his presence adds another layer to the rich tapestry that makes up Tangier's cultural landscape. Meanwhile, a group of local women clad in traditional attire gracefully navigate through the crowd, adding grace and elegance to the scene. Menpes' keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Tangier's architecture but also its people. Each face tells a story - stories that have been shaped by centuries-old traditions and customs unique to this Moroccan province. This print serves as an invaluable window into early 20th-century Tangier; it captures moments frozen in time that would otherwise be lost forever. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but feel grateful for artists like Menpes who dedicated themselves to preserving these glimpses into history for future generations to admire and learn from.
