EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Massaua station in Eritrea, Africa. The date of the photograph falls between 1920 and 1940, a period when this bustling railway station was at its prime. The image showcases an urban scene with a prominent street lamp illuminating the exterior of the station. The furnishings for civic spaces are visible, adding a touch of elegance to this architectural gem. The structure itself stands tall and proud, symbolizing progress and connectivity through its role as a hub for transportation. A train can be seen on the tracks, ready to embark on its journey by land. This scene captures both action and stillness simultaneously - passengers boarding or disembarking while others wait patiently for their turn. Beyond the immediate focus on transportation, we get a glimpse into life within this city through the view provided by the photograph. We see buildings lining up along streets filled with activity; it is truly a snapshot of daily life during that era. It is worth noting that amidst all these elements captured by Unidentified Author's lens, there are also black Africans present in this scene - negroid populations who were an integral part of Eritrea's diverse population and nationality. This print from Alinari invites us to reflect upon not only architecture but also anthropology, ethnography, folklore - aspects that shape our understanding of history and culture. It serves as a reminder that photographs have immense power to transport us across time and space while preserving moments frozen forever in silver halide crystals.
