EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a map of Morocco during the Spanish War of Africa (1859-1860), displayed in a museum in Donostia, Spain. The map, richly colored and adorned with intricate cartographic details, is a testament to the historical significance of this period in African and Spanish history. The focus of the image, however, is not solely on the map itself, but also on the surrounding context. Scattered around the map are various pieces of African rubbish and trash, adding an unexpected layer of contrast and complexity to the scene. The Moroccan cartographies, with their intricate patterns and vibrant colors, juxtaposed against the mundane and discarded waste, create a striking visual dialogue. The sanitation and waste management practices of the time are reflected in this image, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the people during this era. The map, with its detailed municipal divisions and annotations, highlights the Spanish influence and control over Moroccan territories during the war. The cartographic representation of the region is a powerful tool that reveals the political and strategic interests of the Spanish during this period. The photograph print, with its vivid colors and intriguing juxtaposition, invites viewers to explore the complex history of Spain's involvement in Africa and the role of cartography in shaping our understanding of the world.
