Avenue de la Republique, Djibouti, East Africa: A Stroll Down Memory Lane This evocative photograph captures a moment in time along Avenue de la Republique in Djibouti, East Africa, circa 1930s. The scene presents a striking contrast between the colonial past and the emerging local culture. In the foreground, two Djiboutian grain merchants expertly maneuver their traditional carts laden with sacks of grain. Their method of transportation is simple yet effective, utilizing wooden carts with long poles balanced on their shoulders. This age-old technique has been passed down through generations, a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the local population. In the background, a French colonial-era car gracefully glides along the avenue. The sleek automobile, a symbol of modernity and progress, stands in stark contrast to the traditional mode of transportation. The telegraph pole, another remnant of the colonial era, further emphasizes the blend of old and new. This photograph invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural diversity of Djibouti. It serves as a reminder that progress and tradition can coexist, and that the past continues to shape the present in intriguing ways. This image is available as a rights-managed print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a captivating addition to any collection showcasing the history and culture of Africa.
