Dutch photographer Willem van de Poll’s street scene is intended to display a timelessly North African kasbah, in which Berbers in turbans and tunics carry straw baskets and clay pots.

Weizman restores the European woman to the street scene in order to suggest the real complexity of twentieth-century North Africa under colonial rule.
