EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Passage de la Barre a Grand Lahoa; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" is a captivating photograph from the early 1910s, depicting a steamship making its way through the Grand Lahoa sandbar in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. The image is taken from the French publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," and the creator remains unknown. The photograph captures the essence of the colonial era in Africa, with European steamships dominating the Atlantic Ocean, transporting goods and people between the European colonies and the African continent. In this particular image, the steamship, with its tall smokestacks and imposing presence, is making its way through the Grand Lahoa Lagunes in the Ivory Coast. The sandbar, a natural geographical feature, is visible in the foreground, with the waves crashing over it, creating a stark contrast between the man-made steamship and the raw power of nature. The photograph also highlights the importance of water transportation during this era, with the steamships serving as the primary means of transporting goods and people between the African colonies and Europe. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the European explorers and settlers, who navigated the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean to establish and maintain their colonies in Africa. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of Africa during the colonial era. It is a reminder of the rich cultural and historical heritage of the African continent, and the significant role it played in the global economy during the 20th century.
