1936 Air View Coast Flying Kenya Kenya Colony Mombassa Mountains Nairobi Enroute High Ridge

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1936, capturing a breathtaking aerial view of Kenya Colony enroute to Mombassa. The image showcases the remarkable beauty of this East African nation as seen from above, with its vast landscapes stretching out beneath an endless sky. As our eyes wander across the photograph, we are drawn towards a magnificent high ridge of mountains that cuts through the heart of Kenya's terrain. These majestic peaks stand tall and proud, seemingly untouched by time or human intervention. They serve as a natural barrier between Nairobi, the bustling capital city nestled inland, and the picturesque coast where Mombassa awaits. The photographer has skillfully captured this moment in history when air travel was still in its infancy but already providing new perspectives on familiar places. The contrast between land and sea is strikingly evident as we observe how these rugged mountains abruptly give way to the gentle waves caressing Kenya's shoreline. Transporting us back over eight decades ago, this print allows us to marvel at both nature's grandeur and humanity's progress. It reminds us that even in times long gone by, people sought adventure and exploration through flight. With each passing year since 1936, Kenya has continued to evolve while preserving its unique charm – making it all the more fascinating for those who wish to uncover its rich heritage.
