EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph taken in the 1870s, showcasing the majestic Mount Kita in present-day Mali, West Africa. The image is taken from the pages of "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph captures a breathtaking vista of the mountain range, with Mount Kita standing tall and proud against a clear, blue sky. The mountain's rugged peaks and lush greenery contrast sharply with the arid landscape below, where a group of local people can be seen in the foreground, going about their daily activities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the geography and culture of West Africa during the late 19th century. Henry Walter Bates, a British naturalist and explorer, documented his journey from the Senegal to the Niger River in this collection of illustrated travels. The photograph of Mount Kita is a testament to the richness and diversity of the African continent, and the beauty of its natural landscapes. Mount Kita, also known as Mount Hombori Tondo, is a significant geographical feature in Mali, and has been an important landmark for travelers and explorers for centuries. The mountain is a popular pilgrimage site for local people, who believe that it holds spiritual significance. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when European exploration of Africa was at its height, and offers a fascinating insight into the people, landscapes, and cultures of West Africa during the late 19th century. The image is a reminder of the enduring allure of travel and discovery, and the importance of preserving our cultural and historical heritage for future generations.
