EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1923, capturing a glimpse of MO's house in Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa. The Medical Officer's residence stands proudly amidst the African landscape, showcasing its colonial architecture and timeless charm. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Peter Jacob, an adorable dog with a curious spirit, inspecting the driveway that leads up to the grand entrance. The image transports us to an era when life moved at a slower pace and simplicity reigned supreme. The neatly paved path reflects the meticulous care given to every detail of this beautiful property. As we gaze upon this scene from nearly a century ago, it is impossible not to be captivated by the allure of both man-made structures and nature's beauty coexisting harmoniously. Mombasa itself holds historical significance as one of East Africa's major trading ports since ancient times. This photograph serves as a testament to Mombasa's rich cultural heritage while also highlighting the influence of European colonization on architectural styles during that period. The On Call in Africa Collection has preserved this remarkable piece from their archives within Mary Evans Picture Library. It offers viewers today an opportunity to appreciate not only the aesthetics but also gain insight into how life was lived in early 20th-century Kenya through visual storytelling captured by talented photographers like those behind this collection.
