Marcelin Flandrin also created many nude orientalist postcards of Moroccan women in the Bousbir, or quartier réservé, a colonial brothel-city in Casablanca. Flandrin was influential in creating the stereotype of the "Arab African" prostitute: young, brown, exotic looking (to the European eye) topless and wearing robes or kaftans. Most of the photographs were carefully staged rather than being taken spontaneously.[2]
