EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a street scene in Morogoro, East Africa (now in Tanzania), during the tumultuous year of 1916. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, during a period of significant historical change. The First World War had reached Africa, and Morogoro, a small town nestled in the foothills of the Uluguru Mountains, was not immune to its impact. The photograph reveals a bustling street filled with a diverse population. African men and women, dressed in traditional attire, mingle with European soldiers and officials, all going about their daily business. The buildings in the background, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, exude a sense of colonial influence. The presence of a horse-drawn cart and a bicycle suggests the coexistence of old and new modes of transportation. Despite the ominous backdrop of war, the scene appears peaceful and ordinary. Children play in the streets, and vendors sell their wares from makeshift stalls. The sun casts long shadows, creating an intricate pattern on the cobblestones. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Morogoro during a time of upheaval and change. The On Call in Africa Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Africa during the colonial era. This image, in particular, provides a unique perspective on the intersection of African and European cultures during a time of global conflict.
