EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting era of the 1920s in Khartoum, Sudan, as depicted in this photograph of The Grand Hotel. The image transports us to a bygone colonial era, where the lush greenery of the garden meets the grandeur of the European architecture. The terrace and verandah, adorned with wicker chairs and potted plants, offer a tranquil respite from the bustling city. The Grand Hotel, a symbol of British colonial rule in Sudan during the 1910s and 1920s, stands proudly in the background. Its whitewashed walls, red-tiled roof, and ornate balconies exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The Sudanese people, dressed in traditional attire, add a vibrant touch of African culture to the scene. The garden, filled with exotic flowers and lush foliage, provides a serene contrast to the bustling cityscape. The palm trees, swaying gently in the breeze, offer a reminder of the tropical climate that makes Sudan so unique. The Grand Hotel's garden was a popular gathering place for both European residents and Sudanese visitors, making it a melting pot of diverse cultures. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a glimpse into a time when Khartoum was a thriving colonial city, where European and African cultures intertwined, leaving a rich and complex history. The Grand Hotel, with its timeless charm, remains a cherished reminder of this fascinating period in Sudan's history.
