EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Africa in the 19th century, specifically focusing on the Bangala indigenous people of the Congo. The engraving from Henry M. Stanley's book "The Congo and the Founding of its Free State" provides a historical perspective on the exploration and work that took place in this region during that time.
In this image, we see a profile portrait of a Bangala man with intricate braided hair, showcasing the unique cultural practices and traditions of this ethnic group. The European influence is also evident in this depiction, highlighting the interactions between different races and cultures during this period.
The rich history of Africa comes to life through this photograph, offering a window into the lives of indigenous peoples who called this continent home. From their traditional hairstyles to their proud heritage, every detail tells a story worth exploring.
As we reflect on these images from centuries past, let us remember the resilience and strength of African tribes like the Bangala who have shaped our world in ways both big and small. This print serves as a reminder of our shared history and interconnectedness as human beings across continents.
