EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of Mart, a historic quarter in the bustling city of Tangier, Morocco, during the late 1800s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this North African city. The narrow, winding streets are lined with traditional, red-tiled houses, their facades adorned with intricate, ornate details. The buildings, some with wooden balconies, exude an air of antiquity, reflecting the area's long and storied history. In the foreground, a man in traditional Moroccan attire, wearing a fez and a long, flowing djellaba, walks along the cobblestone street, adding a sense of scale and authenticity to the scene. The blue sky overhead is dotted with clouds, casting dappled sunlight onto the ancient, weathered walls. In the distance, the silhouette of a minaret rises above the rooftops, a reminder of the city's Islamic heritage and its deep-rooted spiritual traditions. The photograph, taken during the 1880s, offers a rare and captivating glimpse into the early days of the 19th century, a time when Tangier was a thriving international hub, attracting travelers, merchants, and adventurers from around the world. Today, this historic quarter remains a popular destination for those seeking to explore the unique blend of cultures and traditions that define this fascinating city.
