EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the pages of El Mundo Ilustrado during the early twentieth century, depicts a significant moment in Moroccan history as the Grand Vizier extends a warm welcome to a delegation of French diplomats. The Grand Vizier, an influential political figure in the Moroccan court, is shown seated on a grand throne, dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, while the French diplomats, dressed in European suits, stand respectfully before him. The scene is filled with an air of formal diplomacy and cultural exchange. The encounter between the Moroccan Grand Vizier and the French diplomats marks a pivotal moment in Morocco's colonial history. Morocco, a North African country rich in natural resources and strategic location, was a frequent target of European powers seeking to expand their colonial empires. The French, in particular, had long-standing interests in Morocco and had attempted to establish a protectorate over the country several times. Despite the political tensions and power dynamics at play, this image portrays a moment of respect and formality. The Grand Vizier's reception of the French diplomats signifies Morocco's continued sovereignty and its ability to engage in diplomatic negotiations with European powers. The presence of both European and Moroccan men and women in the image underscores the complex interplay of cultures and the importance of diplomacy in shaping international relations during this period. Barberis' engraving is a testament to the rich history of Morocco and its complex relationship with European powers during the colonial era. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the political and cultural dynamics of the time.
