EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Steamship Stanley, named after the renowned English explorer Henry Morton Stanley, navigating the Congo River in Central Africa during the late 19th century. The Steamship Stanley, designed by E.A. Tilly, was a crucial component of Stanley's historic journey to establish the Independent State of the Congo under the sponsorship of King Leopold II of Belgium. The double-decker steamship, adorned with a canopy and paddlewheel, showcases the advanced European technology of the time, which enabled Stanley to traverse the vast and challenging Congo River. The steam-powered vessel, with its cascading paddlewheel, was a marvel of engineering, providing the necessary power to navigate the river's strong currents and complex waterways. In the background, the lush African landscape unfolds, with native people observing the steamship as it passes by. The engraving captures the sense of exploration and discovery, as well as the encounter between European and African cultures. The Steamship Stanley represents a pivotal moment in the history of Africa, as European colonialism began to shape the continent's political and social landscape. This engraving 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), published in Barcelona around 1890. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a significant moment in African and European history.
