EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Tangier in 1844, a bustling port city on the Barbary Coast of North Africa. The image, captured by an unknown creator, showcases the enchanting view of Tangier's port as seen from the coast. The city walls stand tall and proud, encircling the vibrant town with their ancient charm. Ships dotting the Mediterranean Sea create a lively atmosphere, symbolizing Tangier's importance as a hub for trade and transportation during this era. As we delve into this historical snapshot through time, it becomes evident that Tangier was a significant location for British interests in the 19th century. This engraving originally appeared in "Illustrated London News" one of Britain's most prominent newspapers at that time. The monochromatic aesthetic adds depth to this scene, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail etched onto paper. From sailing ships gracefully gliding across the water to the architectural marvels of Tangier's walled city, each element tells its own story within this visual narrative. Though created over 175 years ago by an anonymous artist, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance. It serves as a window into an era when Tangier played a vital role in connecting continents through trade and exploration along Morocco's captivating coastline.
