EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration," offers a panoramic view of Leopoldville and Kintamo, the capital city and a significant town along the Congo River in Central Africa during the late 19th century. The image, taken from the Spanish publication "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre," provides an intriguing glimpse into the African continent during the height of European colonialism. Leopoldville, now known as Kinshasa, is depicted as a bustling urban center with a thriving port, European influence evident in the architecture of the buildings lining the riverside. The city's strategic location on the Congo River, a major waterway in Sub-Saharan Africa, made it a hub for commerce and trade. In the background, Kintamo, a smaller village, is visible, showcasing the diverse mix of African and European influences. The Congo River, a vital source of transportation and commerce, winds its way through the landscape, connecting various African communities and facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas. This panorama offers a unique perspective into the complex history of the Congo during the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium, who established the Congo Free State in 1885, a period marked by intense exploration, exploitation, and the eventual colonization of the region. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and complex geography of the African continent during this pivotal time in history. The engraving, produced in Barcelona around 1890, offers a contemporary view of the region that remains relevant even in today's age of democratic republics and urbanism. This image invites us to explore the history and geography of the Congo and its people, providing a window into the past that continues to shape our understanding of the world.
