EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the bustling atmosphere of the Mazagen Corn Market in Morocco, North Africa, circa 1900. Located in the ancient port city of Essaouira, the market was a hub of activity where vendors sold their wares, primarily corn and other grains, to local residents and travelers passing through. In the photograph, we see a group of vendors, each with a sack slung over their shoulders and goods piled high on the ground before them. The warm glow of a lantern illuminates the scene, casting long shadows and adding to the sense of activity and energy. The vendors' expressions are focused and determined as they engage with potential customers, haggling over prices and making deals. The market was an integral part of the local economy, providing essential resources for the community and contributing to the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. The corn and grains sold here were not only used for food but also for animal feed and as a form of currency. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the daily life of a Moroccan market over a century ago. The scene is timeless, with the vendors' traditional clothing and the simple, rustic setting transporting us back in time. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, a valuable archive of historical photographs from around the world.
