EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Roberto Ivens (1850-1898), a prominent Portuguese explorer of Africa during the 19th century. Ivens is depicted here with a serious expression, his piercing eyes gazing intently into the distance. His well-groomed mustache and sideburns add to his distinguished appearance. Born in Portugal, Ivens joined the Portuguese Navy and later became an administrator in the African colonies. He played a significant role in the exploration and colonization of the Congo region, making important contributions to the geographical knowledge of the African continent. The image is taken from the book "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), edited in Barcelona around 1890. The book, written by Henry M. Stanley, provides an account of Ivens' explorations and achievements in Africa. Ivens' exploration of the Congo was not without challenges. He faced numerous obstacles, including hostile native tribes, harsh terrain, and political intrigue. Despite these challenges, Ivens persevered, making significant discoveries and expanding Portugal's colonial holdings in Africa. This engraving is a testament to Ivens' exploratory spirit and his role in the European colonization of Africa. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who helped shape the geographical and political landscape of the African continent during the late 19th century.
