Covered Meknes Moroccan Morocco Shade Shaded Trellis
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of life in the bustling city of Meknes, Morocco during the early 1910s. The photograph depicts a group of people gathered in a shaded street, seeking refuge from the intense North African sun. The intricately designed trellis above provides a cool respite, casting dappled light onto the cobblestone street below. Meknes, a historic imperial city located in the northern part of Morocco, was known for its vibrant markets, grand mosques, and beautiful gardens. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants during a time when the city was a popular destination for European travelers. The people in the photograph are dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, with the men wearing long, flowing djellabas and fez hats, while the women are veiled and dressed in voluminous robes. The children, clad in simple clothing, play and explore their surroundings, adding a sense of joy and innocence to the scene. The street itself is lined with low, covered buildings, creating a sense of intimacy and community. The warm, earthy tones of the image, from the sandy hues of the buildings to the rich greens of the vegetation, evoke a sense of timelessness and tranquility. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and the resilience of its people, who continue to thrive in the face of adversity and the passage of time.
