EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Casablanca's Boulevard de Paris in the 1920s. The wide, tree-lined avenue is a vibrant crossroads of modernity and tradition, with the sleek lines of the Citroen showroom on the right contrasting sharply with the ornate, Moorish-style architecture of the post office on the left. The signage of both buildings is prominently displayed, advertising the latest offerings from France and showcasing the city's connections to the wider world. The sidewalks are filled with pedestrians, their shadows stretching long and thin in the late afternoon sun. Men in European suits and women in elegant dresses stroll along the boulevard, while children play and vendors sell their wares. The sound of car engines and the chatter of voices fill the air, creating a symphony of urban life. The Boulevard de Paris was once the heart of Casablanca's European quarter, a testament to the city's rich history as a melting pot of cultures. Today, it remains a popular destination for visitors, offering a glimpse into Morocco's past and a reminder of the enduring allure of this North African metropolis.
