EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic landing stage at Rio Nunez, or Nunez River, in the heart of Boké, Guinea, circa 1920. The image showcases the tranquil beauty of the riverbank, with its lush vegetation and towering trees providing a striking contrast to the simple yet functional pier. The landing stage, a vital connection between land and water, serves as a hub for various modes of transportation. Boats and canoes of all sizes are moored alongside the pier, their hulls reflecting the clear waters of the river. The stage also features a small country house, likely belonging to a local resident or a colonial administrator, perched atop a hill in the background. The scene exudes a sense of calm and serenity, with the gentle lapping of the water against the shore and the rustling of leaves in the breeze. The lush greenery and the undulating hills in the distance add to the picturesque setting. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s and the colonial era in Guinea. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of this West African country, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
