Rue de Thiong in Dakar, Senegal: A Glimpse into the Past of French West Africa's Vibrant Capital City This evocative photograph captures the bustling spirit of Rue de Thiong in Dakar, Senegal during the 1910s, a time when the city was the administrative hub of French West Africa (AOF). The image transports us back in time, revealing the unique blend of African and European influences that characterized this period in Dakar's history. The wide, cobblestone street is lined with low-slung houses, their facades displaying a mix of traditional Senegalese architectural elements and European design. The houses, painted in various shades, stand proudly against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the doors and windows add character to the scene, while the tall palm trees lining the street provide a touch of tropical charm. Pedestrians, dressed in traditional Senegalese attire, can be seen going about their daily business on the sidewalks. Some carry large baskets or bundles on their heads, while others engage in animated conversations with friends and neighbors. The presence of European men in suits and women in elegant dresses further underscores the multicultural nature of the city. The road, which appears to be relatively quiet, is dotted with horse-drawn carts and bicycles, suggesting that motorized vehicles were not yet a common sight. The absence of modern infrastructure and the simplicity of the scene add to its timeless allure. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of Dakar, a city that has since grown into a bustling metropolis and a symbol of African resilience and progress. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity that continue to shape Senegal and the broader African continent.
