Travel Views of Morocco, 1904
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe that transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Morocco during the early 20th century. The image, captured as a nitrate negative, showcases the rich tapestry of Moroccan life with a focus on the diverse and intriguing fashion and costume traditions of the time. In the heart of a busy marketplace or souk, men and women are seen engaged in various activities, from trading goods to simply observing their surroundings. The women, dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, wear long, flowing robes, often adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Their headscarves, known as hajebs, cover their hair, while their faces display a range of expressions, from intense focus to curious gazes. Men, on the other hand, wear loose-fitting garments, such as jellabas and fez hats, which were popular during this era. Some men are seen wearing Western-style suits, reflecting the influence of European culture on Moroccan society. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a crowd of onlookers, all dressed in various stages of traditional and Western attire, gathered around what appears to be a market stall or shop. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of Morocco during the early 1900s, showcasing the country's rich heritage and the coexistence of traditional and Western influences. Arnold Genthe's masterful composition and use of light and shadow create a striking and timeless image that continues to captivate viewers today. This photograph is part of the vast collection of Heritage Images and can be found at the Library of Congress.
