EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Avenue Roume in Dakar, the capital city of French West Africa, during the 1910s. The image shows two Senegalese men, dressed in traditional African garb, walking confidently along the avenue, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the urban environment. The Avenue Roume, now known as Avenue de la République, was one of the main thoroughfares of Dakar during the colonial era. It was named after Louis Roume, a French colonial administrator who played a significant role in the development of the city. The street is lined with European-style buildings, including the imposing City Hall, which can be seen in the background. The men's casual demeanor and the lively interaction between them and their surroundings convey a sense of everyday life in this diverse and cosmopolitan city. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural history of Dakar and its people during a pivotal period in African history.
