EDITORS COMMENTS
Le lit du Congo aux environs de Stanleyville; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" is a captivating black and white lithograph depicting the Congo River and its surrounding landscape near Stanleyville, in the Belgian Congo, Central Africa. The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, showcases the meandering river as it flows through a rocky terrain, dotted with large boulders and smaller rocks. The Congo River, one of the world's most significant waterways, is the lifeblood of Central Africa, providing a vital source of transportation and resources for the local population. The scene is set against the backdrop of the lush, equatorial rainforest, with the sun casting long shadows over the riverbed. The image offers a glimpse into the geography and topography of the region, which was still largely unexplored and unknown to the Western world at the time. The title "Stanleyville" refers to the present-day city of Kisangani, located in the Tshopo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of exploration and discovery in Africa, as European powers sought to expand their empires and claim territories on the continent. The image, though created by an unknown artist, offers a unique perspective into the natural beauty and complexity of Central Africa, which continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. The lithograph is a valuable addition to any collection of African or geographical prints, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a window into the natural wonders of Central Africa. The image's intricate details and stunning composition make it a must-have for collectors, historians, and anyone with an interest in the history and geography of Africa.
