EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1892 showcases a Jewish couple in Tangier, Morocco. The wood engraving, created by an American artist of the time, beautifully captures the essence of late 19th-century Moroccan culture and tradition. Seated together, the husband and wife exude an air of elegance and grace. Dressed in traditional North African clothing, their attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. The woman's tea-length dress is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that showcase her impeccable taste. The couple's connection is palpable as they sit closely together, their hands gently intertwined. Their love for one another is evident in their eyes and warm smiles. A housemaid stands nearby, adding to the authenticity of this scene from everyday life in Tangier. As Sephardic Jews living in Morocco at the turn of the century, this couple represents a unique blend of cultures and traditions. They embody resilience and strength amidst a diverse society where different faiths coexist harmoniously. This remarkable wood engraving not only transports us back to a bygone era but also serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across time and borders. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty found within individual cultures as well as our interconnectedness as global citizens.
