EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the year 1936, capturing a mesmerizing aerial view of Kenya Colony's Kisumu. The image showcases an enchanting scene that unfolds across the bay, revealing both natural and man-made elements. As our eyes wander over this remarkable photograph, we are immediately drawn to the landing ground situated amidst the picturesque landscape. This open space serves as a gateway for exploration and adventure, inviting planes to touch down on Kenyan soil. It symbolizes progress and connectivity in an era when air travel was still a marvel. Intriguingly, nestled nearby are native bomas - traditional enclosures made by indigenous communities. These structures represent a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, showcasing their resourcefulness and deep connection with their surroundings. The composition of this image is simply breathtaking; it captures not only the physical beauty of Kisumu but also its historical significance during colonial times. The photographer has skillfully framed this moment in time, allowing us to witness how human presence interacts with nature's grandeur. This print transports us back in time, evoking feelings of wonderment and curiosity about Kenya's rich heritage. It stands as a testament to the power of photography in preserving history for generations to come.
