EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Councillor Ennes Street in Beira, Mozambique during the colonial era in East Africa. The scene is set in the 1920s, with tramlines running through the city streets and men going about their daily activities. The Portuguese influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings and the presence of trolley transport.
The image showcases a bustling urban landscape, with trees lining the pavement and barrels scattered along the road. A man can be seen standing near a balustrade, adding a sense of movement to this snapshot of life in Beira.
Councillor Ennes Street serves as a reminder of Mozambique's complex history under colonial rule, where African people navigated both traditional customs and foreign influences. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when European powers held sway over much of Africa.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength of those who lived through this period of change and upheaval. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the people who called Beira home during this pivotal moment in history.
