EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the district office and officers' houses in Morogoro, German East Africa, circa 1908. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, during the height of colonial rule in Africa. The district office, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, stands proudly at the center of the frame, surrounded by lush greenery and the rolling hills of the Morogoro countryside. The officers' houses, neatly arranged in a row, are dwarfed by the towering trees and the backdrop of the distant mountains. The path leading to the office, lined with trees and shrubs, adds a sense of tranquility and isolation to the scene. The African landscape, with its undulating hills and verdant vegetation, contrasts sharply with the European architecture and the uniformed officers going about their daily business. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the colonial administration in Morogoro during the early 20th century. It also serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious history of colonialism in Africa, and the lasting impact it had on the people and the land. The trees and mountains in the background, which have stood the test of time, serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring beauty and resilience of the African continent.
