EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration," dates back to the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into the complex history of the Congo and its indigenous people. The image, created by the Spanish artist Pedro Mullor, depicts a Congolese man, barefoot and carrying a heavy load on his head, surrounded by the lush African landscape. The double burden he bears is a poignant reminder of the challenges and struggles faced by indigenous Africans during this era. The Congo, a vast and diverse continent, was a center of intense exploration and exploitation during the 19th century. European powers, driven by a thirst for resources and territorial expansion, embarked on numerous expeditions to Africa, leading to the colonization of many African territories, including the Congo. Henry M. Stanley, an American journalist and explorer, played a significant role in the Congo's history, playing a key role in the founding of the Free State of the Congo in 1885. The image of the Congolese man, with his strong and determined expression, conveys the resilience and strength of the indigenous population in the face of adversity. The infant in the foreground adds a sense of hope and continuity to the scene. The engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the rich history and diverse cultures of Africa, and the complex interplay of global forces that have shaped its past and present. This evocative image, taken from the book "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre. Historia de los Trabajos y Exploraciones Verificados," edited in Barcelona around 1890, offers a poignant and thought-provoking perspective on the history of Africa and the experiences of its indigenous people during a pivotal period in world history.
