EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Africa. Palm (Hyphaene guineensis)" from the book "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre. Historia de los Trabajos y Exploraciones Verificados" (The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration), showcases the majestic Hyphaene guineensis palm tree, native to the dry regions of Central Africa. The image, published in Barcelona around 1890, is a visual testament to the European exploration and documentation of the African continent during the 19th century. The palm tree, also known as the Bottle Palm or the Sabal Palm, is a prominent feature of the African landscape, particularly in areas like the Congo. Its distinctive trunk, with its bulbous base and long, slender fronds, is a symbol of the unique and diverse flora that thrives in Africa's various climates. The engraving is an essential visual complement to the text in Henry M. Stanley's work. Stanley, an American journalist and explorer, is best known for his role in the search for the missing explorer, David Livingstone, and his famous encounter with him in 1871, during which he uttered the famous phrase, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?". In this book, Stanley chronicles his work and explorations in the Congo Free State, which was established by King Leopold II of Belgium in 1885. This image offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and richness of Africa, a continent that has long been a subject of fascination and exploration for Europeans. The Hyphaene guineensis palm tree stands tall and proud, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of nature, even in the most arid regions of Central Africa. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, as well as the complex history of human interaction with it.
