EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to March 1922, capturing the essence of Mombasa in Kenya during the era of British colonialism. The focal point is the grand head office of the British East Africa Corporation, standing tall amidst a bustling crowd. The building's impressive architecture reflects both power and authority, symbolizing the dominance of British influence in this African city. Intriguingly, men from different backgrounds can be seen waiting patiently outside the office. Among them are indigenous individuals who have likely come seeking opportunities or assistance from their colonial rulers. This diverse gathering showcases a unique blend of cultures and highlights the impact of European presence on local communities. The image evokes a sense of anticipation as people form orderly queues, reflecting both respect for authority and an eagerness to engage with those inside. It serves as a reminder that even in distant lands like Mombasa, colonialism had established its roots firmly. Preserved by Central News, this monochrome photograph offers us a glimpse into history – an era when Europeana photography was still developing as an art form. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it sparks curiosity about how life unfolded within those walls and what stories lie hidden behind each face captured here. Let this print transport you to early 20th-century Mombasa; immerse yourself in its rich historical tapestry where cultures collided under the watchful gaze of colonial powers.
