EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside the Navy base (Hôpital de la Marine) in Dakar, Senegal, circa 1910. The capital city of Senegal and former capital of French West Africa was a vibrant hub of activity during this period. In the image, two riders and a group of pedestrians pass by the imposing navy base gates. The French colonial influence is evident in the uniforms of the soldiers standing guard, while the Senegalese people going about their daily business add a sense of local color. The base, an essential part of France's maritime and military presence in West Africa, is situated near the water's edge, with the vast expanse of the sea beyond. The presence of the navy base signified both protection and control over the region's maritime trade routes. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of military, cultural, and colonial influences in Dakar during this era.
