Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tangerine, a Child's Letters From Morocco: Being the Impressions of a Little English Girl, During a Short Visit to the Chief Coast Town of Morocco, Contained in Her Letters Written at the Time to Her Uncle
Unlike Algeria, it is almost impossible to takephotographs or sketches of the people in Morocco with out resorting to strategy, because their religion entirely forbids the reproduction of the human form.
Of course as time goes on, and as the people in the coast towns get used to the ever increasing in?ux of foreign visitors, this prejudice will wear off, especially when they know that a few coppers may be the reward for thus violating the customs of their forefathers.
Fortunately for the Editor of this work, the shyness of the natives still prevails, and he was not therefore under the obligation of corrupting their morals by bribery (except sometimes by a few bright beads)
