EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the North African sun, this aerial view of Boulevard de la Gare in Casablanca, Morocco, circa 1930, presents a captivating tableau of urban life in the thirties. The grand boulevard, named after the Casablanca train station, is a vibrant hub of activity, teeming with an eclectic mix of architectural styles and lush greenery. The photograph reveals a harmonious blend of European and Moroccan influences, as modernist buildings with clean lines and large windows stand alongside traditional riad-style structures with intricate arches and ornate detailing. The central market, a bustling hub of commerce and community, is visible in the lower left corner, its labyrinthine layout a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of this bustling city. The boulevard's wide, tree-lined pavement is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the traffic below, where Bessonneau cars and buses navigate the busy streets. The iconic arches of the train station, a symbol of Casablanca's connection to the world beyond, loom large in the background. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the city was on the cusp of modernity, embracing the future while preserving its rich heritage. The vibrant energy of Boulevard de la Gare continues to draw visitors from around the world, making Casablanca a must-visit destination for those seeking a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Morocco.
