1836 Countryfolk Moroccan Morocco Racial
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Moroccan countryfolk in the mid-19th century, a time of profound cultural and historical significance in the North African kingdom. Taken in 1836, the photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of Moroccan men and women living in rural areas, far from the bustling cities and cosmopolitan centers. The men in this photograph are dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, including the djellaba, a long, loose-fitting robe, and the fez, the iconic red felt hat. Their faces bear the marks of hard labor and the harsh desert climate, reflecting the physical demands of rural life. Some men are shown working with tools, while others engage in social activities, suggesting a strong sense of community and camaraderie. The women in the photograph are equally captivating, with their intricately patterned veils and colorful robes. Their faces are veiled, in accordance with the customs and traditions of the time, yet their expressions convey a range of emotions, from playful to serious. The women are shown working together, perhaps preparing food or engaging in other domestic tasks, highlighting the importance of communal living and cooperation. This photograph is a valuable historical record of Moroccan countryfolk during a time of significant change. The country was undergoing political upheaval, with the Alaouite dynasty consolidating its power and European powers vying for influence. Against this backdrop, the Moroccan countryside remained a bastion of tradition and resilience, as evidenced by the strong sense of community and cultural continuity depicted in this image.
