EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Views on the River Niger, West Africa" takes us on a visual journey through the enchanting landscapes of one of Africa's most iconic rivers. The engraving, created by Charles Auguste Loye in 1890, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse culture that thrived along the banks of the River Niger. The image showcases various elements that make this region so unique and mesmerizing. From traditional Igurra canoes gracefully gliding across the water to lush forests framing its shores, every detail tells a story of life intertwined with nature. The junction where two rivers meet creates a breathtaking spectacle as they merge their currents. Bird Rock stands tall amidst this picturesque scenery, providing sanctuary for countless avian species that call this place home. Utshi and Forcados Branch add to the river's charm as it winds its way through West Africa. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we discover Beaufort Island nestled in Lower Niger while Akassa and Lokoja stations mark human presence along its course. This engraving not only captures an artist's perspective but also serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing France's fascination with distant lands during colonial times. With Loye's skilled hand and attention to detail, he transports us back in time to experience firsthand these awe-inspiring views on the River Niger.
