The Finery of a Native Hunter in the Belgian Congo, Africa, c1930s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a native hunter in the Belgian Congo during the 1930s. The identity of the creator remains unknown, but their lens skillfully portrays an indigenous man adorned with exquisite jewelry and traditional attire. Leopold II of Belgium secured rights to this vast African territory at the Berlin Conference in 1885, ushering in an era of colonialism that lasted until its independence in 1960. This image serves as a poignant reminder of that historical context. The hunter's direct gaze pierces through time, inviting us to delve into his world. His bare-chested physique highlights his connection to nature and hints at his physical prowess as he wields a bow and arrow - tools essential for survival amidst dense Congolese forests. Every intricate detail is meticulously captured by cinematography techniques employed by Keystone View Company. The necklace adorning his neck showcases local craftsmanship while emphasizing cultural significance. This photograph offers us a glimpse into life on this vibrant continent - Africa. It transports us outdoors to witness one person's existence within this diverse landscape filled with both beauty and challenges. As we admire this remarkable image from "Tour of the World" let it serve as a testament to resilience, heritage, and humanity against the backdrop of colonial history.
