EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Niger Nigeria" transports us back to the year 1967, capturing a mesmerizing scene along the river courses of Niger. The photographer, Quilici Folco, skillfully captures the essence of this African landscape with its unique architecture and housing structures. In this image, we are drawn to a small hut nestled amidst lush greenery on the riverbank. Its humble yet sturdy construction reflects both practicality and an intimate connection with nature. The surrounding landscape exudes tranquility as it stretches far into the distance, revealing other dwellings scattered along the water's edge. A small boat gently floats by in perfect harmony with its surroundings – a testament to the method of transportation relied upon by those living in this region. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into their daily lives and highlights how closely intertwined they are with their natural environment. As we observe further, our attention is naturally drawn towards groups of black Africans engaged in various activities nearby. Their presence speaks volumes about not only their population but also their rich cultural heritage and national identity. This photograph becomes an invaluable resource for anthropology enthusiasts seeking insights into negroid populations' traditions, folklore, and ethnography during that era. Quilici Folco's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty of this Nigerian landscape as well as gain insight into its inhabitants' way of life. It serves as a visual time capsule that invites contemplation on humanity's relationship with nature while celebrating diversity within different cultures across Africa.
