Lugares dalêm : Azemôr, Mazagão, Çafim

Correia, Vergílio, 1888-1944 · 1923 · Lisboa : Tip. do Anuario comercial · 19 pictures

A 1923 Lisbon photographic survey by Vergílio Correia, published by the Tip. do Anuario comercial, documenting Portuguese architecture and fortifications in Azemmour, Mazagão and Safim in Morocco. The plates are black-and-white photographs with short Portuguese captions, and the pages are rotated in several scans. A designer could take from them the massed stone walls, arched gateways and sun-hardened fortress masonry of colonial North African towns, with strong light and shadow suited to texture studies.
