Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Crowded Street, Shops and Stalls

1930

A crowded street in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, teeming with shops and stalls. Women walk with parasols and men wear hats to protect against the sun. Most people in the photograph are wearing traditional white robes. Awnings stretch from the roofs of buildings to provide shade to shoppers. Multiple tiers of sloping roofs stretch into the distance, (1930).
