EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling Covered Bazaar of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in the 1920s. The gently-sloping rooftops of the market create a breathtaking scene, with their intricate designs and earthy tones blending seamlessly into the African sky. The bazaar, also known as the merkato, was a hub of trade and commerce in this vibrant city. The narrow lanes between the shops and stalls are filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of a thriving African marketplace. Vendors call out to potential customers, haggling over prices for colorful textiles, spices, and handcrafted goods. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, with people from all walks of life coming together to buy and sell. Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, was a thriving cultural and commercial center during this time. Known as the "City of Palaces," it was home to a diverse population of Ethiopians, Europeans, and other foreigners. The city's unique blend of African and European influences is reflected in the architecture of the covered bazaar, with its red-tiled roofs and intricate woodwork. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing a window into the rich history and culture of Ethiopia during the early 20th century. The Covered Bazaar of Addis Ababa remains an iconic symbol of the city's vibrant past and continues to draw visitors from around the world today.
