EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Kilindini Harbour in Mombasa, Kenya, during the 1920s. The image captures a significant moment in history as Paulings and Co, a renowned construction company, carry out building work at this vital coastal hub. The scene is filled with activity as workers diligently engage in their tasks against the backdrop of land meeting sea. The sheer magnitude of the harbour's importance is evident through its strategic location on East Africa's coast. It served as a gateway for trade and commerce between Africa and other parts of the world. The photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the early days of industrial development in Mombasa. As we observe these dedicated individuals meticulously constructing structures that would shape the future of this region, we are reminded of their invaluable contribution to African industry. The On Call in Africa Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this historical moment for us to appreciate today. Through this photo print, we can reflect upon how far Kilindini Harbour has come since its humble beginnings and acknowledge its enduring significance within Kenya's maritime landscape.
