La Gambie a Quenotto; L'Ouest Africain,
EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "The Gambia River; West Africa," is a captivating photograph from the 1910s, showcasing the tranquil beauty of the Gambia River in West Africa. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was originally published in the German geography magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The photograph presents a stunning tableau of the riverbank, where the Gambia River, a major geographical feature of West Africa, meanders gracefully through the landscape. The river's calm, dark waters reflect the lush greenery of the trees and plants that line its banks, creating a breathtaking contrast between water and land. The trees, predominantly bare, display their intricate structures against the clear, blue sky. Their branches, reaching out towards the river, create a sense of depth and perspective, while their trunks, textured and weathered, speak of the passage of time. The trees appear to be a mix of deciduous and evergreen species, with some trees displaying their leaves, adding a touch of vibrant green to the otherwise monochrome scene. The photograph also reveals the richness and diversity of the West African landscape, with the river serving as a vital source of life and sustenance for the local communities. The image invites us to explore the untouched beauty of the continent, offering a glimpse into the natural wonders of a bygone era. The print collector, who acquired this rare and evocative photograph, adds to the preservation of history, allowing us to appreciate the artistic and historical significance of this image. "La Gambie a Quenotto; L'Ouest Africain" is not only a visual testament to the natural beauty of West Africa but also a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving our world's diverse landscapes and cultures.
