5 colonial postcards of Figuig, a city on the Algerian border. In 1845, during the French conquest of Algeria, the town was designated as being within the Moroccan sphere of influence; it was conquered by French forces in 1904 and became part of the French protectorate of Morocco in 1912. The population of the villages is of mixed origin, and both Tamazight (an Amazigh [Berber] language) and Arabic are spoken. Because of disease and the high elevation of the oasis, the town’s date palms are not commercially important; fruits and vegetables are grown mostly for local consumption.

6 colonial postcards of colonial and arab Oudjda.
Price: $180.00
Note: In 1907-1908, Oujda was reconquered by General Bugeaud and Marshal Lyautey and used as a French military base to control eastern Morocco. The modern city owes much of its present form to the French, who developed along the roads built at that time. Anti-Jewish riots occurred in Oujda June 1948, during the 1948 Palestine war in the aftermath of the establishment of the State of Israel. Oujda, located near the border, was a departure point for Moroccan Jews seeking to reach Israel by crossing into French Algeria; at the time they were not permitted to do so from within Morocco. In the events, 47 Jews and a French person were killed, many were injured, and property was damaged. The 1953 Oujda revolt took place during Thami El Glaoui's attempted coup against Sultan Muhammad V. In 1954, from the beginning of the Algerian Independence War, Morocco allowed Oujda to become the logistic center of the Oujda Group.
