EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a Donkeyman, or donkey handler, in the bustling city of Tangier, North Africa during the 1910s. The Donkeyman, dressed in traditional clothing, skillfully guides his donkey through the narrow, winding streets, expertly maneuvering around the various obstacles that line the path. The warm glow of a lantern illuminates the scene, casting long shadows and adding an air of mystery and intrigue. Tangier, a melting pot of cultures and traditions, was a popular destination for European travelers during this time period, and donkeys were a common mode of transportation for both locals and tourists alike. The Donkeyman played an essential role in the daily life of the city, helping people navigate the hilly terrain and congested streets. The photograph captures the raw beauty and authenticity of life in Tangier during this era. The Donkeyman's strong, determined expression and the donkey's steady gaze convey a sense of resilience and endurance, reflecting the challenges and rewards of life in this vibrant and exotic city. The use of a lantern adds an element of romance and adventure to the scene, transporting us back in time to a place of wonder and discovery. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Tangier and the important role that donkeys played in the daily lives of its people during the early 20th century.
