Postcard Tangier Morocco Town Bay Aerial View Chrome Kruger 1960s Unused

Tangier, Morocco1965ChromeGood

From high on the hills above the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier's crescent bay sweeps into view — a white institutional complex nestled among dense pines in the foreground, the old medina and modern city stacked against the headland beyond, and the impossibly blue Mediterranean completing the arc. Tangier in the 1960s was a city of extraordinary international mystique: for decades a free zone drawing writers, spies, artists, and émigrés from across the world, it had only been reunified with Morocco in 1956, and by the time this card was printed the city was reinventing itself as a Mediterranean resort destination even as its legendarily bohemian era faded. The aerial composition — likely taken from the slopes above the Marshan plateau — shows the sweep of the Baie de Tanger (Bay of Tangier) with the port's breakwater just visible at right. Published by Kruger and distributed through Collins Global Traders (Maroc) S.A. in Tangier, this unused chrome card is a clean representative of mid-century Moroccan tourism printing.
