EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside the General Post Office in Fedala, Morocco, circa 1930. The image transports us back in time to the 1930s, an era of transformation and modernization in North Africa. The tree-lined street, shaded by tall, leafy trees, leads to the imposing post office building, its grand architecture a testament to the colonial influence of the time. The scene is filled with a sense of activity as people go about their daily business. Men in traditional Moroccan robes and women in flowing veils can be seen conversing on the sidewalk, while others wait patiently in line at the post office. The telegraph and telephone poles lining the street are a reminder of the importance of communication in connecting people and communities, both near and far. The General Post Office in Fedhala, now known as Mohammedia, was a vital hub of communication during this period. It served as a link between Morocco and the rest of the world, facilitating the exchange of letters, news, and ideas. The building, with its ornate facade and grand arches, stands as a symbol of the connection between Morocco and the wider world, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and history of this fascinating North African country.
