Antique & Vintage Postcards

Sun-bleached minarets, camel riders drifting across pale dunes, and a sweeping aerial panorama of Tanger spilling down to the blue Strait of Gibraltar — this vibrant chrome multiview captures Morocco's legendary gateway city at its most cinematic. Four inset vignettes frame the card's aerial backdrop: a robed figure astride a camel on golden sands, a busy medina square dominated by a tall minaret tower, the bustling souk entrance with its white archways, and a lively street scene outside a mosque. Centre-left, a bold red shield embossed with Morocco's green pentacle star and olive branches bears the Arabic and Roman lettering "Tanger," anchoring the card in civic pride. Published by Collins Global Traders (Maroc) S.A., Tanger and printed by the German house Krüger (card no. 1267/29), this card dates to the 1960s chrome era when Tanger was still trading on its glamorous International Zone mystique long after that status ended in 1956 — a city that had sheltered writers, spies, and artists from Paul to Tennessee to the Beat Generation regulars.
