EDITORS COMMENTS
Vue sur le Konilou a l'embouchure de la Mandji; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the colonial era of Gabon, Central Africa. The image, created in 1914 and published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases a stunning view of the Konilou village and the Mandji River estuary. The photograph presents a picturesque scene of the African countryside, with the Konilou village nestled at the river's edge. The village, surrounded by lush vegetation and tall trees, appears peaceful and idyllic, with thatched-roof huts and people going about their daily activities. The Mandji River, a major waterway in Gabon, flows gently into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The photograph also highlights the colonial influence, with European buildings, such as a church and a fort, standing proudly among the African structures. These buildings serve as a reminder of the French colonial empire that once ruled over Gabon and other parts of Central Africa. The image is a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of Gabon and Central Africa. It offers a unique perspective on the region's natural beauty, as well as the coexistence of African and European cultures during the colonial era. The photograph is an essential addition to any collection of African history, geography, or colonialism. Despite the photograph's unknown creator, it remains a valuable historical document that continues to captivate and intrigue viewers. The image invites us to explore the complex history of Gabon and Central Africa, and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the African continent.
