EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling Carrefour de la Poste, or Grand Poste, in Casablanca, Morocco, during the 1910s. The Carrefour de la Poste was a significant crossroads and central hub of activity in the coastal city, serving as the main post office and a popular meeting place for locals and travelers alike. The image showcases the unique blend of North African and European architectural styles that characterized Casablanca during this era. The grand, whitewashed post office building, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and ornate wrought-iron balconies, stands proudly at the center of the intersection. Surrounding the post office are narrow, winding streets filled with vendors and pedestrians, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Casablanca during the early 20th century. Horse-drawn carriages and bicycles can be seen transporting people through the streets, while men in traditional Moroccan robes and women in colorful headscarves mingle with European settlers in suits and hats. The Carrefour de la Poste was a symbol of the rich cultural exchange that took place in Casablanca during this period, as Morocco's position as a major trading center and French protectorate attracted people from all corners of the world. This photograph serves as a captivating reminder of the city's storied past and its enduring allure as a destination for travelers and history buffs alike.
