EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as Moroccan mattress-makers in Tangier meticulously stuff mattresses with straw during the 1910s. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room filled with piles of straw and pallets, where the artisans work in unison to create comfortable beds for their community. Their faces are etched with concentration as they deftly manipulate the straw, stuffing it into the mattresses with precision. The air is thick with the scent of straw and the sounds of their hushed conversations fill the room. Mattress-making was a long-standing tradition in Morocco, with each region boasting its unique style and techniques. In Tangier, the mattresses were typically made from natural materials such as straw, palm leaves, or wool. The process of stuffing mattresses was a communal effort, with families and neighbors working together to ensure that everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The simple tools used by the mattress-makers - their hands, a wooden mallet, and the straw - speak to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of Tangier. The absence of modern machinery or commercial production methods underscores the importance of craftsmanship and the connection between the artisans and their community. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the rhythms of daily life were dictated by the seasons and the needs of the community. The mattress-makers of Tangier, with their dedication to their craft, serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape Morocco today.
