EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1920s, capturing a side view of Fort Jesus in Mombasa, Kenya. The fort stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this East African nation. Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it served as a strategic fortification during their colonial rule. The image showcases the impressive architecture of Fort Jesus, with its sturdy walls and intricate details that have withstood centuries of weathering. It is a symbol of resilience and strength against the test of time. The photographer has expertly framed the shot to highlight both the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic building. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an era where cultures collided on these shores – where European influences met African traditions. This fusion is evident not only in Fort Jesus' design but also in its surroundings. Today, Fort Jesus serves as a popular tourist attraction and UNESCO World Heritage site, drawing visitors from around the globe who come to marvel at its beauty and learn about Kenya's past. This print allows us to appreciate not only its architectural splendor but also its role as a living piece of history that continues to shape Mombasa's identity today.
