EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1920s in Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa. The image depicts a group of local men, dressed in simple loincloths and hats, carefully making their way across a river using a long, thick rope as a makeshift bridge. The river, teeming with clear, cool water, winds its way through lush, green trees and vegetation, creating a serene and idyllic setting. The men, some with their hats shading their faces from the sun, wade through the water, one by one, gripping the rope tightly as they cross. The rope, which appears to be made from thick vines or fibers, is secured on both sides of the river, providing a vital connection between the two banks. The scene is one of community and cooperation, as the men help each other to safely navigate the river's current. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Mombasa during the 1920s, a time when the region was under British colonial rule. Despite the challenges of crossing the river, the men's determination and resourcefulness are evident, as they make use of the natural materials available to them to overcome the obstacle. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of Mombasa, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Kenya and East Africa.
