1936 Entering Kenya Kenya Colony Nairobi Town
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the year 1936, in Kenya Colony's bustling capital city of Nairobi. The image showcases a remarkable sight - the Nairobi Motor Highway entering town. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to an era when motorways were still a novelty and held great promise for progress. The photograph captures the essence of colonial Kenya, with its wide open spaces and pristine roads stretching into the distance. The highway itself is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess, cutting through the untamed African landscape with precision and determination. Intriguingly, this image also offers a glimpse into daily life during that time period. We can see vintage cars making their way along the highway, transporting people who were undoubtedly embarking on various journeys - be it for work or leisure. The presence of these vehicles adds depth to our understanding of how transportation played a vital role in shaping Nairobi's growth as an urban center. With its sepia tones and impeccable clarity, this print invites us to reflect on both the past and present. It serves as a reminder of how far Kenya has come since those early days while acknowledging that there is always more history waiting to be uncovered beneath our feet. As part of the Liszt Collection, this extraordinary piece allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting an important chapter in Kenyan history.
