EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, when English photographer captured the awe-inspiring sight of "The New Congo Railway from Matadi to Stanley Pool". The image showcases a picturesque curve in the railway, surrounded by lush greenery and rugged topography that resembles the breathtaking landscapes of Switzerland. In this historical snapshot, we witness a bustling goods yard where workers are diligently loading cargo onto the train. This scene not only highlights the importance of railways as vital transportation links but also sheds light on the early stages of development for what would become an essential lifeline for trade and connectivity in Congo. The significance of this railway project is further emphasized by its connection between Matadi and Stanley Pool, two prominent locations along the mighty Congo River. As one gazes at this photograph, it becomes evident that this engineering marvel played a crucial role in opening up new possibilities for exploration, commerce, and cultural exchange within Central Africa. With every detail meticulously captured through photography's lens, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. This remarkable print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance while offering us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since those early days of rail travel.
