EDITORS COMMENTS
This panorama, taken from Mount Leopold in the late 19th century, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Africa's Stanley Pool, also known as Lake Nkunda or Nkuna, situated at the lower end of the Congo River. The image, an engraving by W. Meyer, was published in the Spanish book "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre. Historia de los Trabajos y Exploraciones Verificados" (The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration), edited in Barcelona around 1890. During this era, Africa was undergoing significant exploration and colonization, with Henry Morton Stanley, a renowned American journalist and explorer, playing a pivotal role in the region. Stanley is famously known for his search for the missing explorer David Livingstone and his declaration, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" The panorama offers an overview of the natural landscape, revealing the tranquil waters of the lake, surrounded by lush greenery and the majestic mountains of the range in the background. The Malebo Pool, also known as the Livingstone Pool, is visible at the upper end of the lake, where the Congo River narrows and forms a series of rapids. This panoramic view offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and geography of Africa during a significant period in its history. The image serves as a testament to the allure and mystery that has long captivated explorers and travelers, inspiring awe and wonder for generations.
