Un quartier de Dar es Salaam; Afrique Australe, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past of Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania and the former capital of German East Africa. The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, portrays a bustling town quarter with a unique blend of African and European architecture. The photograph captures the vibrant energy of Dar es Salaam, with people going about their daily lives amidst the buildings. In the foreground, African men and women are seen dressed in traditional attire, engaging in various activities. In the background, European-style buildings dominate the landscape, with their tall, imposing structures and red-tiled roofs. At the time, Dar es Salaam was a significant colonial outpost, with both the French and German powers vying for influence in the region. The photograph reflects the multicultural nature of the town, with people of various ethnicities and backgrounds living and working together. The photograph also highlights the architectural diversity of Dar es Salaam during the early 20th century. European-style buildings, such as the one in the center of the image, were built to house colonial administrators, while traditional African dwellings were made of mud and thatch. Despite the passage of time, "Un quartier de Dar es Salaam; Afrique Australe, 1914" remains an important historical document, providing valuable insights into the social, cultural, and architectural history of Dar es Salaam and Tanzania as a whole. The photograph is a testament to the rich and complex history of this fascinating African city and the diverse communities that have shaped it over the centuries.
