Postcards have been cultural artifacts typical of mass tourism. They are, at the same time, souvenirs and ways of communication whose uses and meanings are multiple and varied. As a communication mean, anachronistic or nostalgic, they are objects of a past that allows us to make a historical, visual and narrative analysis of how tourist destinations were portrayed, emphasizing the meaning and sense of the exotic, the superiority of the colonial West and the fascination for adventure. Analyzing this changes, that is, the transformations in the representations of that tourist destination, how the staged has been altering, usually have a lot to do with how the social gaze of the tourist and the destination changes, disrupting these fragments of communication and narratives of the subjective. From a qualitative approach to the tourist postcards of Morocco (1890-2016), a review is made of the tourist and political development of the country, the aesthetic changes and the representative content of the postcard and the social gaze towards the colonial and decolonial that is perceived in the representations of these fragments of paper that, souvenirs or communication media, continue to have a place as an advertising showcase for a destination ​
