EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling entrance of Mombasa harbour in Kenya, East Africa. The scene is set in the 1930s, a period when this coastal city was thriving with trade and maritime activity. The focal point of the image is a majestic boat gracefully sailing towards the harbor's entrance. Its sails are fully extended, catching the wind as it glides through the calm waters. Surrounding it are other boats, each playing its part in facilitating transport and commerce along this vibrant coastline. The setting itself is equally enchanting. Lush green trees frame the scene, their branches reaching out towards the water's edge. Their presence adds a touch of tranquility to an otherwise dynamic environment. Mombasa harbour served as a vital hub for goods coming into and leaving East Africa during this era. It was not only an important center for trade but also played a crucial role in connecting Kenya with other parts of Africa and beyond. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but be transported back to an era where sailboats ruled these waters and harbors were gateways to new adventures and opportunities. This print captures both the beauty of nature surrounding Mombasa harbour and its significance as a pivotal location for transportation and trade in early 20th-century East Africa.
