This untitled photograph by Félix (1846-1901) captures a panoramic view of a city in Morocco. Taken from a high vantage point, the image showcases the dense, low-rise architecture of the city, with rooftops extending as far as the eye can see. The snow-capped mountains in the distance provide a dramatic backdrop, while the sky is a pale, muted brown, suggesting the photograph was taken on a hazy day. Félix was known for his photographic explorations of North Africa, and this image provides a glimpse into the everyday life and urban landscape of the region in the late 19th century.
