EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, captures the moment an Austin car is being transported across the Lufira River, a tributary that flows into the larger Lualaba River near Lubumbashi, then known as Elisabethville or Elisabethstad, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central Africa. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local people as they employ the use of a raft and ropes to ferry the car across the river. The third-largest city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lubumbashi, was a significant hub during the colonial era, attracting explorers, traders, and settlers. The Lufira River, a vital waterway, served as a crucial means of transportation for both people and goods. The Austin car, a symbol of modernity and progress, stands in stark contrast to the traditional methods of transportation used by the local population. The image encapsulates the fusion of cultures and the interplay between the old and the new during this period in African history. The car's journey across the river is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people living in this region. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the challenges and innovations of transporting goods and vehicles in the early 1900s in Central Africa.
