EDITORS COMMENTS
Travelling down the Niger: Journey from the Senegal to the Niger," an intriguing 19th century photograph from the collection of "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of West Africa's rich history and culture. The image, taken around the 1870s, depicts a scene along the banks of the Niger River, which flows through Mali and several other West African countries. The photograph captures a moment in time as people and goods are being transported along the river in traditional wooden boats. The boats, skillfully maneuvered by local boatmen, carry a diverse group of passengers, including Europeans, such as the British explorer Henry Walter Bates, and Africans, dressed in various traditional attire. The background is filled with the lush vegetation and undulating terrain of the West African landscape, providing a striking contrast to the calm waters of the river. The photograph is a testament to the importance of water transport in the region during that era, as it was the primary means of transportation for people and goods, especially in areas where roads were scarce or impassable. The image also highlights the interconnectedness of different communities along the river, as people from various backgrounds came together to travel and trade. This photograph is a valuable piece of historical documentation, providing insights into the geography, culture, and daily life of West Africa during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the African continent and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. The photograph was published in "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, which was published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London. The image is also attributed to Eugene Abdon Mage, although the exact details of his involvement in the creation of the photograph remain uncertain.
