EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Chieftain of Kimpoko, a prominent leader from the northeastern shore of the Stanley Pool in the Congo during the 19th century. The image is taken from Henry M. Stanley's publication, "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), published in Barcelona around 1890. Stanley, an American journalist and explorer, is famous for his role in the European colonization of Africa, particularly his search for the missing explorer David Livingstone and his establishment of the Congo Free State under the sponsorship of King Leopold II of Belgium. The Chieftain of Kimpoko is shown here in traditional attire, with a distinctive facial expression that conveys both authority and curiosity. The ethnicity and tribe of the Chieftain are not specified in the text, adding to the mystery of this historical figure. The image offers a glimpse into the indigenous peoples and rulers of the Congo before the arrival of European colonizers. The lake in the background is identified as the Stanley Pool, a large expanse of water on the Congo River, which played a significant role in the region's exploration and trade. This engraving provides a valuable record of the African continent's history and the complex interactions between indigenous peoples and European explorers during the 19th century.
