EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the trade and commerce of Mombasa in the 1920s. The image showcases a group of natives with ivory for export, highlighting the natural resources that played a significant role in Africa's economic history. The photograph was taken by an English photographer, whose work is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts bustling harbors, with ships ready to transport goods to Europe and beyond. In addition to ivory, other commodities such as hides, oil, seeds, and grain can be seen being prepared for shipment. This snapshot offers insight into the early twentieth-century business enterprises that thrived on free trade and international connections. The presence of various types of bridges adds another layer of interest to this historical moment. From pedestrian wooden bridges to stone structures and suspension bridges, these architectural marvels symbolize connectivity between different regions and cultures. Overall, this image serves as a reminder of the intricate web woven by global trade networks during this era. It invites us to reflect on the interplay between nations like Iceland and European countries within larger frameworks such as the European Union (EU). Through its depiction of bustling activity at Mombasa's railway station at Kilindini Harbour, it encapsulates both local African customs intertwined with broader global dynamics.
