EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of the Portuguese settlement of San Salvador on the banks of the River Lelunda in Angola during the 18th century, around 1750. The photograph, a precious record of colonial history, depicts the daily life of the Portuguese community as they go about their activities along the river. At the heart of the image, a Portuguese man skillfully rows a boat, its sails furled, as he navigates the gentle waters of the Lelunda. The boat, laden with goods, is a testament to the vital role that maritime transport played in the economic and social fabric of the settlement. The settlement itself is nestled among lush vegetation, with thatched huts and palm trees visible in the background. The presence of the Portuguese flag atop one of the buildings serves as a reminder of the colonial power that established this community in Angola. San Salvador was one of the earliest European settlements in Angola, founded in 1583, and played a significant role in the Portuguese colonization of the region. The settlement was primarily focused on the exploitation of natural resources, such as ivory, gold, and slaves, which were traded with European markets. Despite the challenges of living in a remote and often hostile environment, the Portuguese settlers persevered, building a thriving community that would endure for centuries. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of this colonial outpost, providing valuable insights into the history of Angola and the Portuguese presence in Africa during the 18th century.
