EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque Cottage on the Island of Cape Saint Mary, located in the historic town of Bathurst, British Gambia, West Africa. Dating back to circa 1905, this image offers a glimpse into the colonial past of this beautiful African country. The Cottage, with its quaint, weathered appearance, stands proudly amidst a lush, tropical landscape, framed by the gnarled and bent trees that characterize the region. The River Gambia, a vital water source for the local population, meanders gently in the background, adding to the serene ambiance of the scene. The people in this photograph, dressed in colonial attire, add a sense of history and intrigue to the image. The European influence is evident in the architecture of the Cottage, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding natural beauty and the traditional African huts that can be seen in the distance. The Island of Cape Saint Mary, with its rich history and cultural diversity, continues to be a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a unique blend of African and colonial heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Gambia's past, and a reminder of the fascinating history that continues to shape this vibrant and beautiful country.
