EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the French occupation of Morocco in 1907. The image showcases the main entrance to Oujda, a city guarded by the formidable Zouaves. Standing tall and proud, these soldiers exude strength and authority as they protect the gateway to this Moroccan city. The composition of the photograph is striking, with the grand architecture of the entrance drawing attention to its significance. The intricate details of the door reflect both human artistry and historical fortification techniques. It serves as a reminder of how military presence shaped not only physical structures but also cultural landscapes during this period. The photographer's skill shines through in capturing this powerful scene, offering us a glimpse into an important chapter in African history. This image transports us back to early 20th-century North Africa, where European powers sought control over territories on the continent. Through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we witness not just an architectural marvel or military display but also glimpses of Arab civilization and culture that coexisted alongside colonial forces. This photograph becomes more than just documentation; it becomes a window into understanding complex dynamics between nations and cultures. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image, let us remember that behind every historical event lies countless stories waiting to be explored and understood.
