EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Bled et le Djebel Maknassi; Afrique du Nord" is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned French photographer Charles Chusseau-Flaviens in 1914. This evocative image is a testament to the rich cultural and geographical diversity of North Africa during the early 20th century. The photograph depicts a stunning landscape of Morocco's Meknes region, featuring the picturesque town of Bled and the imposing Djebel Maknassi mountain range in the background. The image captures the essence of the North African landscape, with its arid desert terrain, rolling hills, and the lush oasis of Bled nestled at its foot. Bled, a small town located in the heart of Morocco, is known for its beautiful gardens, ancient architecture, and serene lake. The town's name translates to "pond" in Arabic, reflecting the importance of water in this arid region. In the photograph, we can see the town's iconic red-tiled roofs and whitewashed houses, surrounded by lush vegetation and palm trees. Djebel Maknassi, a range of mountains located to the north of Meknes, adds a dramatic backdrop to the scene. The rugged, rocky terrain of the mountains contrasts sharply with the verdant oasis of Bled, highlighting the diverse topography of the region. Charles Chusseau-Flaviens, a French photographer known for his extensive work in Africa, captured this image as part of a larger project documenting the geography of North Africa for the renowned French geographical publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree." The photograph is a beautiful example of the photographer's ability to capture the essence of a place and transport the viewer to another time and place. This photograph is a reminder of the rich cultural and geographical heritage of North Africa and the enduring allure of its landscapes. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and beauty of this fascinating region.
