EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken by Grenville Collins in 1913, captures the general panoramic view of Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan. The image transports us back in time to the 1910s, offering a glimpse into the past of this historic African city. The photograph showcases the bustling streets of Khartoum, with a mosaic of buildings and rooftops filling the frame. The city's architecture is a unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences, reflecting its rich cultural heritage. The narrow streets are lined with low-rise buildings, some with intricately designed facades, while others are more modest in appearance. In the foreground, people can be seen going about their daily business, adding a sense of life and activity to the scene. The photograph also reveals the presence of the Blue Nile and White Nile rivers, which converge in Khartoum and are essential sources of water for the city and its inhabitants. The photograph's composition draws the viewer's attention to the skyline, where the rooftops of the city's mosques and other religious buildings dominate the horizon. The minarets and domes of these structures add a distinctive and iconic feature to the cityscape, making Khartoum a truly unique and captivating place. This photograph offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past of Khartoum, providing a window into a bygone era and offering a glimpse into the history and culture of this remarkable African city.
