EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1950s in Kenya, a time of political tension and colonial rule. The image showcases Sir Evelyn Baring, the newly appointed Governor of Kenya, adorned in the magnificent regalia befitting his position as a Colonial Governor. Standing tall and authoritative, he inspects the impeccably dressed Guard of Honour belonging to the Lancashire Fusiliers. The scene takes place during the opening ceremony of the New Session of the Kenya Legislative in 1952. It is a moment that encapsulates power dynamics and colonialism at its peak. As Sir Evelyn Baring surveys his troops with an air of authority, one cannot help but ponder on both admiration for military precision and reflection on historical context. This photograph captures not only a significant event but also serves as a reminder of Africa's complex history marked by conflict and struggle against colonial powers. It symbolizes an era when African nations were grappling with their fight for independence amidst civil unrest. Eric Harlow's masterful lens skillfully immortalizes this pivotal moment in Kenyan history. Through his artistry, he invites us to delve into our collective memory lane while contemplating themes such as politics, war, colonialism, and their lasting impact on societies across Africa.
