EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, the bustling streets of Nairobi, Kenya, are abuzz with preparations for the upcoming visit of His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Duke of York, later to become King Edward VIII. The year is 1928, and the excitement is palpable as the people of East Africa eagerly anticipate the arrival of the British royalty. The scene captures the vibrant energy of the city as workers put the final touches on decorations and preparations. Bunting and flags, proudly bearing the Union Jack, flutter in the breeze, adorning the roads and buildings. A road is being freshly painted, its surface glistening under the African sun, while men in white shirts and khaki trousers work diligently to ensure the city looks its best for the esteemed guest. The Prince of Wales, who would later abdicate the throne in 1936, was known for his love of adventure and travel. His visit to Nairobi was part of a tour of British colonies in Africa, and it is said that he was deeply moved by the warmth and hospitality he received from the local population. This photograph serves as a testament to the anticipation and excitement that accompanied his arrival, and the pride the people of Nairobi took in welcoming their royal visitor. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a time of great cultural and social change. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the British Empire during this era, and the unique blend of African and European influences that characterized life in colonial Kenya. It is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, and a poignant reminder of the rich history that continues to shape our world today.
