EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the grandeur of the English Cathedral in Mombasa, Kenya. The image showcases not only the impressive architecture of this colonial-era cathedral but also provides a glimpse into the surrounding area. Located in British East Africa, Mombasa was a bustling hub during this period of history. The photograph reveals a scene filled with life and activity - people going about their daily routines, transport systems such as rails and tracks crisscrossing through the cityscape. The English Cathedral stands tall amidst all this commotion, its intricate details and towering spires serving as a symbol of British influence on African soil. It is an architectural marvel that represents both religious devotion and colonialism's imprint on Kenya's landscape. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, it offers us an opportunity to reflect upon the complex dynamics between colonizers and locals during that era. Beyond its historical significance, however, this image also invites us to appreciate the beauty found within these structures that have stood against time. Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this remarkable piece of history for our admiration today. Through their collection, they allow us to explore different facets of our past while acknowledging how far we have come since then.
