EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, offering a glimpse into the general view of Zanzibar, the capital city of Tanzania. The image showcases an enchanting scene from Zanzibar Harbour on the Indian Ocean, where ships gracefully navigate through its waters. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it is important to note that during this period, Zanzibar was under British protection from 1890 until 1963. The architectural beauty of the buildings lining the waterfront is evident in this monochrome masterpiece. Each structure tells a story of a bygone era and bears witness to the bustling trade and transportation activities that took place within these walls. The unknown creator skillfully captures not only the exterior landscape but also provides us with a sense of location and atmosphere. Published by George Newnes Ltd in London as part of their book "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" this photograph transports us across continents, allowing us to immerse ourselves in distant lands without leaving our present surroundings. It serves as a reminder of how photography has long been an invaluable tool for preserving history and culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, let us appreciate its significance as more than just an image; it is a window into another time – one filled with exploration, trade routes, colonial influence, and cultural exchange between nations.
