[Goanet] The Early Post Cards of the British East Africa Protectorate/Kenya
I wonder if any of our GBC members with East Africa connections have heard of this 200- page book published in 2008 by the East Africa Study Circle? It is a treasure trove of memories and lists some 1200 post cards. I was interested to see that many of these cards were produced by Goan publishers like: Coutinho & Sons, Photographers, Mombasa 1906 D.V. Figueira, Mombasa 1905 Felix Coutinho, Mombasa 1912 T.A. Costa, Photographer, Mombasa1916 D. Evaristo Coutinho, Photographer, Mombasa,1929 I was very fortunate to obtain a copy of this book from the late author's(Clive Evans) wife. If anyone is interested, the ISBN Number is: 0 9515865 64 Here is a snapshot of some of the postcards in this book: Vasco de Gama Street, Mombasa 1904( in one case Vasco is spelt Wasco!) Government House, Nairobi, 1905 Trolley Locomotives, Mombasa 1907 Pot Making, Kikuyu 1907 and hundreds more very interesting cards! I understand that earlier postcard volumes on Uganda & Zanzibar were published in* 2003 & 2005.* *Mervyn Maciel*
