EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur and authority of Government House in Nairobi, Kenya during the colonial era of the 1930s. The large building stands as a symbol of British colonialism in East Africa, showcasing the power and influence of the imperial government at that time.
The imposing structure is adorned with flags flying proudly in front, representing the presence of British authority in this African nation. The meticulous architecture and scale of Government House reflect the dominance and control exerted by colonial powers over indigenous populations during this period.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back to a time when Kenya was under British rule, with Nairobi serving as a key administrative center for imperial operations in East Africa. The photograph serves as a reminder of the complex legacy left behind by colonialism on the continent, highlighting both its architectural achievements and its troubling history of exploitation.
Through The On Call in Africa Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library's lens, we are given a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Kenya's past, where symbols of power and domination were prominently displayed for all to see. This print is not just an image; it is a window into a chapter of history that continues to shape modern-day Kenya and its relationship with its colonial past.
