EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the bustling city of Mombasa, Kenya, in the early 1900s. Dominating the scene is the iconic National Bank of India Ltd building on the left, standing as a testament to colonial influence in East Africa. Its grand architecture reflects both British and Indian design elements, symbolizing the fusion of cultures that defined this era. To its right stands Colonial Stores, a hub of commerce and trade during this period. The stores served as a lifeline for locals and expatriates alike, offering an array of goods from around the world. The photograph also showcases the development of infrastructure with rails and tracks crisscrossing through the streets. Tramlines can be seen weaving their way between buildings, connecting different parts of Mombasa's vibrant community. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Mombasa was at its zenith - a melting pot where people from diverse backgrounds converged to shape its destiny. This image serves as a reminder not only of Kenya's rich history but also highlights how global forces shaped African societies during colonial times. Mary Evans Prints Online presents us with an invaluable glimpse into our shared past through this remarkable print – one that evokes curiosity about our collective heritage while celebrating architectural marvels and economic progress within East Africa's coastal gem.
