Brimmed Cloaks Covered Faces Moroccan Morocco Riff Sellers Selling Sombrero Tetuan Traders Wares Wide Shielded
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Moroccan street traders in the bustling city of Tetuan, circa 1910s. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Rif Mountains, Tetuan has long been a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions. In this image, we see a group of Berber women, their faces shielded by veils, huddled together under the protective shade of wide brimmed sombreros. The women, dressed in cloaks and adorned with intricate jewelry, are engaged in the age-old practice of trading goods from the mountains. Their wares, displayed on colorful blankets, include an array of fruits, vegetables, and handmade crafts. The women's faces remain covered, a custom deeply rooted in Berber culture and tradition. The mountainous backdrop of the photograph adds to the sense of otherworldliness and mystery. The rugged terrain of the Rif Mountains has long been a source of inspiration for travelers and adventurers, and the image of these women, selling their wares against this dramatic backdrop, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. The photograph also highlights the importance of trade in Moroccan society, both past and present. The women in this image are not just selling their wares, but also preserving a way of life that has been passed down through generations. Their resilience and determination in the face of adversity is a reminder of the strength and adaptability of the human spirit.
