EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Road in Zanzibar" transports us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the vibrant cityscape of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The skilled photographer, De Lord A. R. P. , captures an enchanting scene that combines elements of housing, structure, architecture, and landscape. As our eyes wander through the image, we are immediately drawn to the intricate buildings lining both sides of the road. Their unique architectural styles reflect a fusion of cultural influences that have shaped Zanzibar's history. The grandeur and attention to detail in these structures hint at a prosperous era for this coastal city. The bustling street comes alive with activity as a coach makes its way along the road. This method of transportation was common during that time and adds an element of action to the scene. It is fascinating to imagine what stories lie behind those who traveled within this coach – perhaps merchants conducting business or families embarking on exciting adventures. Beyond the immediate foreground lies a captivating view of Zanzibar's urban landscape. The photograph offers us glimpses into daily life; people going about their routines and engaging in conversations along the sidewalks create an authentic street scene. De Lord A. R. P.

Through his lens, he not only captures buildings and streets but also evokes emotions associated with exploration and discovery. This remarkable print serves as a testament to how photography can transcend time by preserving moments from our past. It invites viewers on a journey through history while showcasing Zanzibar's rich cultural heritage - all encapsulated within one frame captured over a century ago by De Lord A. R. P.
