EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, depicts a bustling scene of pedestrians walking past the Post Office in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Known as "Tananarive" during the colonial era, the capital city of Madagascar exudes an air of vibrant activity in this image. The Post Office, with its grand architecture and red-tiled roof, stands proudly amidst the surrounding houses, their whitewashed walls and red-terraced roofs reflecting the distinctive Malagasy architectural style. The pedestrians, dressed in European attire, are engrossed in their daily routines, some deep in conversation, while others seem to be in a hurry. The presence of the post office, a vital communication hub during the era, underscores the importance of connectivity and communication in people's lives. The streets of Antananarivo bustle with activity, as people go about their business, adding to the lively atmosphere of this scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of Madagascar during the early 1900s. The Post Office, a symbol of the colonial era, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the interconnectedness of the world, even in the most remote corners of the globe.
