EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the proud demeanor of a man from Tangiers, Morocco, as he gazes directly into the camera lens. The black and white image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the vintage era of the late 19th or early 20th century. The man's traditional African attire, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, contrasts beautifully with the plain, dark background. His turban sits atop his head, framing a strong, angular face with a well-groomed beard and piercing eyes. In one hand, he holds a lantern, its light casting an ethereal glow on his face and adding an air of mystery to the scene. The photograph's grainy texture and slight imperfections are remnants of its history as a lantern slide, a format popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras for projecting images for educational and entertainment purposes. The image, though worn with age, retains its ability to captivate and transport us to a time long past. Tangiers, a bustling port city in North Africa, was a melting pot of cultures and a popular destination for European travelers during this period. The man in the portrait embodies the rich diversity and intrigue of this exotic land, inviting us to explore its history and traditions. This portrait is a testament to the power of photography to preserve moments in time and transport us to different worlds. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the beauty of diverse cultures, and celebrate the human spirit.
