EDITORS COMMENTS
Sixth Avenue, Nairobi, Kenya, circa 1910s: A Glimpse into the Past of British East Africa This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Sixth Avenue in Nairobi, Kenya during the 1910s, a time when the city was under British colonial rule. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the unique blend of African and European influences that characterized this period. In the foreground, a rickshaw pulls away from the curb, its driver wearing a turban and a determined expression. Behind it, a crowd of pedestrians, dressed in a mix of traditional African garb and European-style clothing, make their way along the dusty road. The buildings lining the street are a testament to the colonial era, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. At the far end of the avenue, a row of telegraph poles stands tall, their wires connecting Nairobi to the wider world. The telegraph system was a vital means of communication during the colonial period, allowing for the efficient administration of the vast British East Africa Protectorate. The presence of the telegraph poles, the European-style buildings, and the rickshaw all serve as reminders of the complex and often contentious relationship between the British colonizers and the indigenous population. The image invites us to reflect on the history of Nairobi and Kenya during this period, a time of great change and transformation. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on a fascinating chapter in African history. It invites us to explore the rich cultural heritage of Nairobi and Kenya, and to consider the complex legacy of colonialism in East Africa.
