EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cameroon - Douala. The Canoe Port," transports us back in time to the bustling waterfront of Douala, Cameroon during the 1910s. The image showcases a single, towering tree trunk, its branches reaching towards the heavens, providing a striking contrast against the vibrant, colorful canoes and boats that line the shore. The canoes, expertly carved from large tree trunks, are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the local Cameroonian people. Each canoe is unique, with intricate designs and patterns adorning their sides. The boats, larger and more industrial in nature, are dwarfed by the grandeur of the tree and the vastness of the water. The canoe port served as an essential mode of transportation for the people of Douala, connecting them to the surrounding communities and facilitating trade and commerce. The waterfront was a hive of activity, with people bustling about, loading and unloading goods, and preparing for journeys across the water. Despite the passage of time, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and history of Cameroon and its people. The canoe port of Douala remains a symbol of resilience and adaptability, as the local community continues to rely on traditional watercraft for transportation and connection to the world around them.
