EDITORS COMMENTS

The image captures a serene moment along the banks of the River Abal, located in the regions of Soudan and Western Abyssinia, now known as Eritrea and Ethiopia in the Horn of Africa. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of exploration and discovery during the 19th century. It was published in "Illustrated Travels," a collection of Bates's writings and reminiscences of his time in captivity. Bates, an English explorer, was known for his extensive travels throughout Africa, particularly in the areas of Soudan and Abyssinia. The photograph presents a stunning vista of the river, with its calm waters reflecting the clear blue sky above.

This photograph is a treasure from the past, offering a glimpse into a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human curiosity.
