This exquisite antique postcard features a vibrant scene of the Custom House in Tangier, Morocco, during the early 20th century. The image captures the stunning Moorish architectural details, including the large horseshoe arches and intricate patterns that define the region's historic buildings. In the foreground, local figures in traditional dress are seen amidst sacks of goods, offering a fascinating glimpse into the daily commerce and atmosphere of this bustling North African port city.Published by V. B. Cumbo of Gibraltar, this postcard is a fine example of early color printing techniques, likely a lithograph or hand-colored print. The back of the card is an undivided back style, typical of the 'Golden Age of Postcards,' featuring the 'Union Postale Universelle' and 'Carte postale' markings. This piece is a must-have for collectors of North African history, architectural studies, or early 1900s travel ephemera.
