EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the people of Nairobi, Kenya as they eagerly await the arrival of His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, in 1928. NP Jewell and Sydney Jewell, two distinguished gentlemen, are seen standing on the platform of the Nairobi railway station, dressed in their finest attire, gazing intently towards the horizon. The Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII, was on a tour of East Africa, and his visit to Nairobi was highly anticipated by the local population. The women in the background are also seen gathered around, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement, as they prepare to catch a glimpse of the royal visitor. The railway transport system played a significant role in connecting Nairobi to the rest of Kenya and East Africa, making it an ideal location for the Prince's stopover. The arrival of the Prince of Wales marked a moment of pride and celebration for the people of Nairobi, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates the sense of excitement and anticipation that filled the air on that day in 1928.
