EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at the New Abattoir in Casablanca, Morocco during the 1910s. The image showcases the livestock yards, where herds of sheep and goats are being prepared for processing. The North African sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the rich textures of the earth and the animals' coats. The New Abattoir was a significant addition to the growing city of Casablanca, providing a much-needed infrastructure for the processing of livestock and the production of meat. The presence of the abattoir was a testament to the city's burgeoning economy and its role as a major trading hub in North Africa. The livestock yards were a hive of activity, with herders and workers tending to the animals, ensuring they were calm and ready for the slaughter process. The air was filled with the sounds of animals lowing and bleating, intermingled with the calls of the workers. The scene was a stark reminder of the importance of livestock and meat production in the daily lives of Moroccans, both as a source of food and as a means of livelihood. The photograph also serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the traditional methods of livestock processing that were once commonplace in Morocco. Today, while much has changed in Casablanca, the New Abattoir remains an important part of the city's history, a testament to its rich cultural heritage and its role in the development of the Moroccan economy.
