EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 1920s, capturing the majestic beauty of The Round Tower in Mombasa, Kenya. Standing tall against the African sky, this architectural marvel is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of East Africa. The Round Tower, with its intricate design and unique shape, serves as a reminder of Mombasa's strategic importance as a trading hub along the Indian Ocean coast. Its walls have witnessed centuries of bustling maritime activity and bear witness to the diverse influences that have shaped this vibrant city. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to an era when colonial powers vied for control over these lands. The tower stands proudly amidst other buildings that dot the landscape, each telling their own story through their distinct architectural styles. The image captures not just a building but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It invites us to imagine what life was like in Mombasa during those times - perhaps bustling markets filled with traders from across continents or ships sailing into port laden with exotic goods. This print from The On Call in Africa Collection allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of The Round Tower itself and its significance within the broader historical context of East Africa. It serves as a visual time capsule that reminds us of our shared human history and ignites our curiosity about distant lands and cultures.
