Maputo, known as Lourenço Marques before independence, is the capital and largest city of Mozambique in Africa. It is known as the City of Acacias, in reference to all of the acacia trees commonly found along its avenues.

Hello

Great site BTW. Do you have this scanned in high resolution? I am collecting images of colonial Mozambique for a history book on Mozambique. It would be fantastic if you could supply me with a copy of it.
Thanks
