EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking view of Hotel Cecil from the sea in Tangier, Morocco, circa 1905. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s when Tangier was a popular destination for European travelers seeking adventure and exoticism in North Africa. The Hotel Cecil, a grand and imposing structure, dominates the landscape in this photograph. Its large, whitewashed walls, with their intricate Moorish-style decorative elements, stand proudly against the azure backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel's sprawling terraces and lush gardens can be seen cascading down the hillside, offering guests a tranquil retreat from the bustling city below. The vibrant blue waters of the sea meet the rocky coastline, creating a stunning contrast against the golden sands of the beach. The image also reveals the bustling port and harbor, with ships anchored in the distance, adding to the sense of activity and energy that characterized Tangier during this era. The Hotel Cecil, with its unique blend of European and Moroccan architectural influences, was a symbol of the cosmopolitan atmosphere that thrived in Tangier during the early 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure and the allure of exotic destinations like Morocco beckoned to intrepid explorers and adventurers alike.
