EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, taken in the enchanting city of Tangier, Morocco during the 1910s, showcases the daily life of local women in this North African coastal city. Two women, one cradling a young baby, are seen engaged in conversation, their traditional attire adding vibrant colors and intricate patterns to the scene. The women's clothing, with its flowing robes and intricate headpieces, speaks to the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and the unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences that have shaped its history. The backdrop of the photograph is the bustling streets of Tangier, with its narrow alleys, whitewashed buildings, and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea in the distance. The city, a melting pot of diverse cultures, was a popular destination for European travelers and expatriates in the early 20th century, drawn by its exotic allure and the promise of adventure. Despite the presence of foreigners, the local population continued to maintain their traditions, as evidenced by the women in this photograph. Their strong connection to their heritage is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Moroccan people, who have managed to preserve their customs and values amidst the ever-changing world around them.
