EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the East African coastline at the turn of the twentieth century. The image, titled "East Africa - Landing Place," depicts a jetty stretching out into the shimmering waters of the Indian Ocean. Rowing boats are moored along the shore, their wooden hulls weathered by the elements and their oars at the ready. A lantern hangs from a post on the jetty, casting a warm glow over the scene and signaling the end of another day. The East African coast was a popular destination for travelers and adventurers in the late 1800s and early 1900s, drawn by the region's rich natural resources, exotic wildlife, and cultural diversity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the coastal communities, where fishing and trade were the primary sources of livelihood. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, a vast archive of lantern slides that document the people, places, and events of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The collection, which spans a wide range of subjects, is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of photography and the world. The photograph's muted colors and soft focus lend an ethereal quality to the scene, transporting the viewer to a time and place far removed from the present day. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the simple pleasures of life, and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
