EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Victoria-Nyanza vu d'Entebbe; Le Nord-Est Africain," a captivating photograph from the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the colonial past of East Africa. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in the French magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The photograph showcases the breathtaking view of Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, as seen from the shores of Entebbe, Uganda. The lake's serene waters stretch out towards the horizon, reflecting the clear blue sky above. In the foreground, the rocky shoreline is dotted with trees and shrubs, providing a stark contrast to the tranquil lake. At the time, the British Empire held sway over much of East Africa, and the region was dotted with colonies and settlements. This photograph serves as a testament to the era of imperial expansion and the exploration of new territories. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during this period. The photograph's title, "Le Victoria-Nyanza vu d'Entebbe; Le Nord-Est Africain," translates to "Lake Victoria as seen from Entebbe; Northeastern Africa." The image captures the essence of the region's natural beauty, as well as its significance as a geographical feature and a location of historical importance. Today, the photograph remains an intriguing piece of history, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Its mystery only adds to its allure, as the identity of the photographer remains unknown. The photograph is a reminder of the power of images to transport us to another time and place, and to spark our curiosity about the world around us.
