EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of animal hide traders in the bustling streets of Djibouti, East Africa, circa 1910s. At the time, Djibouti was a French protectorate known as French Somaliland. The image showcases a group of local merchants meticulously examining and sorting through piles of animal hides, their faces etched with concentration and determination. The hides, freshly tanned and sun-dried, lay out in neat rows, waiting to be sold to buyers from far and wide. The traders, dressed in traditional attire, engage in animated conversations with potential customers, haggling over prices and inspecting the quality of the hides. The vibrant colors of the hides, ranging from deep browns to rich reds, contrast sharply against the dusty, sun-scorched ground. In the background, the hustle and bustle of the market continues, with people going about their daily business, adding to the lively atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Djibouti and the important role that animal hide trading played in the region's economy during the early 20th century. The scene is a testament to the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the local people, who have thrived in the challenging desert environment and made a living from the abundant natural resources. The photograph also highlights the cultural exchange that occurred between the Western world and Africa during the colonial era, as European traders and merchants interacted with local communities and played a part in the global trade network.
