EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving takes us back to the year 1890, deep into the heart of Africa. The image showcases a suspension bridge gracefully spanning across the mighty Ituri River in the Congo. This remarkable feat of engineering stands as a testament to human ingenuity amidst the untamed wilderness. The dense jungle envelops both sides of the river, creating an atmosphere of mystery and adventure. Sir Henry Morton Stanley's book "In Darkest Africa" comes to life through this illustration, transporting us to a time when exploration and colonialism were at their peak. A group of porters can be seen crossing the bridge, carrying supplies on their arduous journey through this unforgiving terrain. Their presence adds scale and perspective, reminding us of the immense challenges faced by those who dared venture into these uncharted lands. The suspension bridge itself is a marvel to behold; its sturdy cables stretch across the ravine with unwavering strength. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded that bridges not only connect physical spaces but also symbolize our collective desire for progress and connection. This evocative print captures a moment frozen in time—a snapshot from an era defined by exploration and discovery. It serves as a visual reminder of our shared history while inviting us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
