EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Northern District of Saint-Louis, Ndar (Saint-Louis-du-Sénégal), in north-west Senegal, around the year 1905. At the time, Saint-Louis was the capital of French West Africa, and the Northern District, or Ndar, was a residential area for the European population. The image reveals a tranquil scene of narrow, cobblestone streets lined with single-story houses, their whitewashed walls adorned with colorful shutters and French colonial-style balconies. The houses are surrounded by lush greenery, with trees providing shade and a sense of privacy. Residents, likely European expatriates, are seen going about their daily routines. A woman in a long, flowing dress and a parasol walks along the street, while a man in a hat and suit carries a basket of goods. The serene atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of vehicles and the quiet, peaceful surroundings. The Northern District, with its elegant houses and tree-lined streets, represents a stark contrast to the bustling markets and crowded living conditions of the African quarters of the city. The photograph serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of European settlers in colonial Senegal during the early 1900s.
