EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MOMBASA: IVORY TRADE" takes us back in time to the early 1900s in Mombasa, Kenya. The image showcases a significant aspect of the region's commerce during that era - the ivory trade. In this scene, we witness the bustling activity at the coastal port of Mombasa after a shipment of ivory has arrived from the interior. A group of individuals, including both Kenyan colonists and English traders, can be seen gathered around a collection of tusks. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that period, adding an extra layer of historical charm to this stereograph. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also sheds light on an industry that played a crucial role in shaping Kenya's colonial history. It serves as a reminder of how ivory was once highly sought-after for its beauty and value, despite its devastating impact on elephant populations. As we delve into this snapshot from over a century ago, let us reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving wildlife and ensuring sustainable practices in today's world. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate how far we have come since then and encourages us to strive for better conservation efforts moving forward.
