Towering earthen ramparts glow amber in the North African sun while a lone figure in a blue djellaba walks a dusty lane lined with tall date palms — a hand-tinted real-photo postcard of Marrakech's famous medieval walls, published by the celebrated "La Cigogne" (The Stork) imprint from Casablanca. Mailed May 2, 1961, a traveler named Madeleine wrote to the family at 8520 Ardmore Ave., Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, rhapsodizing: "Enjoying this French resort very much — ancient and smart modern. Many sights or luxurious hotel together — Lovely Florida-like weather — very cool at night from surrounding snow-capped mountains. Portugal last week." The card captures the Almoravid/Almohad ramparts that UNESCO would later help protect, photographed when Morocco had been independent only five years.
