EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the serene beauty of The Harbour Front in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, East Africa, during the 1910s. The image showcases the Anzani front and the Cathedral, two iconic landmarks of this bustling port city. The Anzani front, named after the Italian Anzani Brothers who established a cotton ginning factory there in the late 19th century, served as a vital commercial hub. The imposing telegraph pole, a symbol of global connectivity, stands tall against the backdrop of the harbor, emphasizing the city's importance as a trade center. The Cathedral, also known as the "Haven of Peace," is a spiritual beacon for the diverse population of Dar-es-Salaam. Its majestic architecture, with its tall spire reaching towards the heavens, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Tanzania and the influence of European colonialism. The Cathedral, built during the German colonial rule, reflects the architectural styles prevalent during that era. The calm waters of the harbor, dotted with traditional dhows and European ships, add to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The lush greenery and palm trees lining the shore create a striking contrast against the industrial structures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of tradition and modernity that defined Dar-es-Salaam during the early 20th century.
