EDITORS COMMENTS
Avenue Roume, Dakar, Senegal, West Africa - Circa 1919 This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Avenue Roume in Dakar, Senegal, during the French colonial era. Named after the French colonial administrator Ernest Nestor Roume (1858-1941), this avenue was once the heart of the colonial administration and a symbol of French influence in West Africa. Ernest Nestor Roume, a French colonial officer, served as the Governor-General of Senegal from 1912 to 1919. During his tenure, he oversaw the expansion of the colonial administration and the development of infrastructure in Dakar. Avenue Roume, with its wide streets, grand buildings, and European-style architecture, was a testament to the French colonial power and ambition in Africa. The photograph shows a vibrant and lively scene on the avenue, with people going about their daily business. European men in suits and hats can be seen walking along the sidewalks, while Senegalese men and women in traditional clothing are engaged in various activities, such as selling goods or carrying heavy loads. Horse-drawn carriages and automobiles add to the sense of movement and energy. The colonial administration buildings, including the grand City Hall and the imposing Palace of the Governor-General, dominate the background. The palm trees lining the avenue provide a stark contrast to the European architecture, symbolizing the blending of African and European cultures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Dakar and Senegal during the colonial era. It reminds us of the complex and often contentious relationship between Europe and Africa, as well as the resilience and adaptability of African people in the face of colonialism. Today, Avenue Roume remains an important part of Dakar's cultural heritage and a reminder of its past.
