A large, light-colored poster, depicting a historical diagram, is mounted vertically on a light beige wall within what appears to be a museum or gallery setting in Marrakesh, Morocco. The poster's title, in black uppercase French text, reads "HALQAS À JEMAA EL-FNA - ÉTAT DES LIEUX EN 1917," indicating a map of performance areas in Marrakesh's Jemaa el-Fna square in 1917. The central graphic is an irregular, tear-drop shaped outline, bounded by a dotted line, representing the Jemaa el-Fna square. Within this outline, several smaller, enclosed areas, also with dotted borders, are labeled in French to denote different traditional acts or groups: "GRAND FONDOUK AUX GRAINS," "VANNILLS," "TENTESS," "MANGER ES SERPENTS," "PRESTIDIGITATEURS," "BALADINS - MUSICIENS - THAUMATURGES - DANSEURS CHLEUHS," "LUTTEURS - ESCRIME AU BÂTON," "CONTEURS," "JONGLEURS," "2 TROUPES CHLEUHS DONT 3 AVEC ENFANTS TRAVESTIS," and "AISSAGUAS." A compass rose with an "N" indicating North is present on the left side of the diagram. A footnote at the bottom specifies that the sketch was drawn by Henri Trikan in 1917, based on reports by General Crozier. In the foreground, a dark, ornately carved wooden railing with multiple dark, vertical balusters extends horizontally across the lower third of the image, positioned between the viewer and the poster. The wall above the poster transitions to a darker grey color. The scene is illuminated by ambient light, creating minor reflections on the poster's surface. No individuals are visible in the image.
