EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the French occupation of Morocco in 1907. The image showcases the Bab Sidi El Houari gate, an architectural marvel that stands tall amidst the bustling city of Oujda. Guarding this grand entrance are the Tirailleurs, soldiers who were instrumental in maintaining order during this period. The composition exudes a sense of strength and authority as these uniformed men stand at attention, their military uniforms highlighting their allegiance to France. Their presence symbolizes both protection and control over this North African region. The photographer's skill is evident in capturing not only the human element but also showcasing the intricate details of Arab architecture. The door itself is a work of art with its ornate carvings and intricate patterns, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. This historical photograph serves as a window into an era marked by colonialism and power struggles between nations. It invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of history while appreciating both its artistic value and documentary significance. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful capture immortalizes this momentous event, allowing us to reflect on how it shaped not only Moroccan history but also European influence in Africa during the early 20th century.
