EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre. Historia de los Trabajos y Exploraciones Verificados" (The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration), was published in Barcelona around 1890. The image depicts the Ambriz Coast in present-day Angola, along the Atlantic Ocean. In the 19th century, the Portuguese colonial empire held significant influence over the region, as evidenced by the barrel boats and ships in the bay, loaded with goods ready for transport. The panoramic view showcases the rugged coastline, with cliffs and a dock extending into the bay. The landscape is dotted with vegetation and what appears to be small settlements. Henry Morton Stanley, an American journalist and explorer, is known to have traveled extensively in Africa during this time, and it is believed that he may have contributed to the creation of this work. The image offers an overview of the maritime activity along the Ambriz Coast during the age of colonialism. The barrel boats, used for transporting goods, were a common sight along the coastline. The ships in the background suggest the importance of navigation and the role it played in the exploration and exploitation of Africa. The Ambriz Coast, located in the northern part of modern-day Angola, has a rich history that spans thousands of years. This engraving offers a glimpse into the region's past during a significant period in its history, when European powers were establishing colonies and expanding their empires.
