EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Kilindini Road, Mombasa, Kenya, during the 1940s. The image showcases a bustling street scene filled with British colonial charm. Wardles Chemists, Photographers and Opticians proudly stand as a prominent landmark amidst the vibrant surroundings. The snapshot captures the essence of East Africa's rich history, where colonialism left an indelible mark on its landscapes. The architecture of the buildings reflects this era, exuding elegance and grandeur. Parked cars line the streets alongside bicycles - a testament to the evolving modes of transport at that time. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, we notice people going about their daily lives. Pedestrians stroll along Kilindini Road while others ride their bicycles with grace and poise. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also offers glimpses into the social fabric of Kenyan society during this period. Mary Evans' expert lens skillfully captures every detail within this historical frame. Through her lens, we are transported to an era when Mombasa was under British rule – a reminder of how different cultures have shaped our world today. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical artifact that allows us to reflect upon our shared past while appreciating the beauty found within everyday life in 1940s Kenya.
