EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glance into the Past: Casablanca's Boulevard Gourand in the 1910s" Step back in time as we explore this photograph of Casablanca's Boulevard Gourand, taken in the 1910s. This image, captured by an unknown photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the history of this vibrant Moroccan coastal city. Boulevard Gourand, named after a French governor, was once the heart of Casablanca's administrative district. The panoramic view showcases a bustling urban scene, with European-style buildings lining the broad avenue. The architecture, a blend of Moorish and Art Deco influences, is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. In the distance, the minaret of the Hassan II Mosque, a landmark of Casablanca, stands tall against the horizon. The mosque, completed in 1993, is a striking contrast to the older structures in the photograph, yet it seamlessly integrates with the city's unique character. The photograph also reveals the coastal location of Casablanca, with the Atlantic Ocean in the background. The city's position on the North African coast has played a significant role in its history, from its early days as a Berber settlement to its status as a major economic and cultural hub in the 20th century. This image, a piece of Moroccan history frozen in time, invites us to reflect on the city's past and its continued evolution as a dynamic and diverse urban center. The photograph is not only a beautiful postcard from the 1930s but also a reminder of the enduring allure of Casablanca.
