EDITORS COMMENTS
Acacia Avenue, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, East Africa (circa late 1940s) This postcard captures a moment in time along Acacia Avenue in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, during the 1940s. The avenue, lined with tall acacia trees, is a bustling scene of activity. Cars and bicycles make their way along the dusty road, while people go about their daily business. In the foreground, the premises of Moloo Brothers & Co Ltd. can be seen. The signage of the Curios and Carpet Dealers of Dar-es-Salaam is prominently displayed, inviting passersby to explore their store. The general store, with its assortment of merchandise, offers a glimpse into the diverse and multicultural community of Dar es Salaam during this era. The African influence is evident in the traditional clothing worn by some of the people in the scene, while European influence can be seen in the cars and the architecture of the buildings. Acacia Avenue was a popular destination for both locals and expatriates, and this postcard provides a fascinating snapshot of life in Dar es Salaam during the 1940s. The Acacia trees, which are still a prominent feature of the avenue today, add a sense of continuity and history to this vibrant and dynamic scene.
