36x24½ inches, 91½x62¼ cm. Morrison & Gibb, Scotland. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds. Framed.
The Minza Hotel was built in 1930 under the guidance of British aristocracy, yet was designed completely in the Moorish style, reflecting traditional Moroccan architecture. The hotel is situated on the Strait of Gibraltar with great views of the Bay of Tangier and the Rif Mountains inland. For years, as the confluence of luxury and exoticism, it was an international destination.
