EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the City Hall, or Hotel de Ville, of Dakar, Senegal, in the early 1910s. At the time, Dakar was the administrative capital of French West Africa, known as l'Afrique Occidentale Française (AOF). The City Hall served as the seat of the municipal government, housing the Dakar City Council. The Beaux-Arts style building, with its imposing façade adorned with intricate details, exudes a sense of authority and sophistication. The French colonial influence is evident in the architecture, which was common in many African cities during the colonial era. The City Hall stood as a symbol of French power and control over the territories of French West Africa. It was a place where important decisions were made that affected the lives of the Senegalese people. Today, the building continues to serve as the seat of the Dakar City Council, playing a crucial role in the governance of the city. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of colonialism and imperialism. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Senegal and its people. The City Hall of Dakar remains an iconic landmark, embodying the resilience and adaptability of the city and its inhabitants.
