This photograph shows Tangier, the port city at the northern tip of Morocco, and its subject is a moment of prayer. The record credits A. Cavilla as the photoprint maker, though the caption card's details are unverified and no date is recorded. Photographers working in Tangier during the late 1800s and early 1900s often sold views of local life to European and American travelers, who were drawn to the city's mix of Moorish, Spanish, and French influences. Scenes of daily worship were a popular subject in such images, so the picture offers a glimpse of how outsiders once framed Moroccan religious life.
