EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Congo" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene of exploration and daily life along the mighty Congo River. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the Belgian expedition that ventured into Africa during this time. The image transports us to a village market situated at the entrance of the Congo River. As supper time approaches, locals gather around their native huts while others engage in land transport activities. The topography is beautifully depicted with Dover cliffs resembling those found in Europe's landscapes. A line of boats can be seen traversing through the lower Congo waters as they make their way towards Nshasha Point. Alongside them, baptist missionaries from the Baptist Missionary Society carry out their important work amidst rapid currents and stunning natural surroundings. From Bayneston to Ntamo Bay and Stanley Pool, every section of this vast river holds its own unique charm. Birds-eye views allow us to appreciate not only the beauty of these regions but also witness how different cultures coexist harmoniously within them. This print captures both adventure and tranquility simultaneously - showcasing European influence alongside African traditions. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights how exploration has shaped our understanding of distant lands like Iceland or even closer ones like Europe itself. Bridgeman Images has once again provided art enthusiasts with an extraordinary piece that sparks curiosity about past expeditions while celebrating cultural diversity on our planet.
