EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the picturesque view of Mozambique Island's harbor in East Africa, circa 1900. The image showcases a serene harbor filled with traditional dhows, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze. The vibrant colors of the boats contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the stone houses lining the shore. One house, in particular, is illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern, adding a cozy touch to the scene. Mozambique Island, located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, is a historic and culturally rich destination. The island, which was once a major trading hub, is known for its unique architecture, blending Arab, European, and African influences. The Portuguese colonized the island in the late 15th century, and their impact is evident in the ornate stone houses and churches that can still be found throughout the town. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which documents the East Coast of Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of this region during a time of significant change. This image, with its peaceful harbor scene, offers a moment of tranquility amidst the larger historical context.
