EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Harbour of Lourenco Marques, Mozambique, Circa 1910" This evocative photograph captures the bustling harbour scene of Lourenco Marques, now Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique in East Africa. The image, taken circa 1910 during the height of Portuguese colonial rule, showcases the Portuguese steamer "Africa" gracefully docked alongside the wharf. The imposing presence of the ship, with its tall smokestacks and ornate decorative details, stands as a testament to the maritime power and influence of Portugal in the region. The background of the photograph reveals a vibrant and crowded waterfront, filled with various boats and ships, large and small, anchored or undergoing repairs. Lifeboats are positioned nearby, ready to be launched in case of emergency. The hustle and bustle of activity is further emphasized by the presence of a large crowd of people on the wharf, dressed in various attire, indicating the diverse population that thrived in this coastal city. The photograph also showcases the architectural beauty of the Portuguese colonial buildings that line the harbour, their grandeur and intricate details reflecting the European influence on the city's development. The buildings, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, stand proudly against the backdrop of the clear blue sea and the vast expanse of the open water. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of colonialism, exploration, and the rich cultural exchange that took place between Europe and Africa. The image serves as a reminder of the complex history of Mozambique and the significant role that its harbour played in shaping the country's identity.
