EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting captures the vibrant and celebratory atmosphere of a circumcision procession in Tangier, Morocco, circa 1915. The scene is filled with a lively procession of people, all dressed in colourful hats and robes, as they march through the streets in honour of the circumcision of a young boy. The joyous occasion is a long-standing tradition in Moroccan culture, marking the transition of a boy into manhood. The painting, a beautiful and detailed work of art, offers a glimpse into the rich history and customs of this North African city. The colourful procession is led by elders and community leaders, while children and women follow behind, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The scene is further enhanced by the use of warm, earthy tones and the intricate patterns of the robes and hats worn by the participants. This painting was originally published in a magazine, specifically in the December volume of "Mrs. Walter Creyke's Magazine," though the exact volume number is not known. The painting is now part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique opportunity for scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts to explore and learn from the past.
