EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1916 showcases the traditional attire of young women in Morocco, as they elegantly don the haik - a full veil that is symbolic of Muslim culture and female modesty. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North Africa, specifically the Maghreb region, where Arab civilization thrives. The veiled women in the photograph exude an air of mystery and grace, standing tall in their traditional costumes that have been passed down through generations. Their clothing reflects not only religious beliefs but also societal norms and values prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this colorized postcard from over a century ago, we are transported to a world marked by colonialism and cultural exchange. The stamp of the French protectorate serves as a reminder of Morocco's complex history and its interactions with Western powers. Through this image captured by Patrice Cartier, we are reminded of the enduring beauty and resilience of Moroccan women who continue to uphold their traditions amidst changing times. It is a testament to their strength and pride in preserving their identity despite external influences. In admiring this piece of art, we pay homage to the diverse population, religion, and customs that make up the vibrant tapestry of Morocco's society.
