EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative panoramic view of Praca Mouzinho de Albuquerque, or City Square, in Lourenco Marques, Mozambique, captures the essence of colonial East Africa in the early 1900s. The photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases the vibrant and bustling heart of the Portuguese capital city, which was then known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean." The image reveals a lively scene of activity, with wide, tree-lined avenues crisscrossing the square, leading to impressive red-roofed buildings that house government offices, shops, and residences. The bandstand in the center of the square, adorned with intricate ironwork, serves as a focal point for the community, where residents and visitors gather for social events and celebrations. The city's rich architectural heritage is on full display, with European-style structures harmoniously blending with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Towering trees provide shade and a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. The city's status as a major port is evident in the numerous ships anchored in the harbor, their sails billowing in the wind. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when colonial powers shaped the destiny of Africa and its people. It is a poignant reminder of the complex and often controversial history of Mozambique and its capital city, Maputo, which continues to evolve and adapt in the modern world.
