EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Mombasa, Kenya, circa 1912. The scene captures a vibrant street outside the iconic Hotel Cecil, which stood as a testament to British colonialism during this era. In this snapshot of history, we see a diverse mix of pedestrians going about their daily routines. Men dressed in traditional Kenyan attire mingle with Europeans donning suits and hats, showcasing the multicultural nature of Mombasa at that time. The Hotel Cecil itself stands tall and majestic, its grand exterior reflecting the architectural style prevalent during British rule. Its large windows offer glimpses into a world where guests would gather for meals or enjoy leisurely conversations. A horse-drawn cart traverses the cobbled street while railroad tracks hint at the city's growing transportation infrastructure. These elements remind us of an era when modernization was slowly making its mark on this coastal city. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this photograph serves as a visual portal into early 20th-century Kenya. It allows us to reflect on both the beauty and complexities associated with colonialism while appreciating how far Mombasa has evolved since then.
