EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the current dwellings of the Bongo tribes in the upper Nile Valley. The artwork, created by a French School artist, is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Charles Garnier and A Ammann's book "L'Habitation Humaine" published by Hachette in 1892. The image transports us to Central Africa, where rows of traditional housing can be seen nestled against the backdrop of majestic mountains and a flowing river. The huts, made with local materials, stand as humble yet resilient structures amidst nature's grandeur. The scene captures village life with its rustic hamlets and villagers going about their daily routines. It offers a glimpse into African culture and highlights the harmonious coexistence between humans and their natural surroundings. As we observe this engraving, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within these lands. The Nile River serves as both a lifeline for sustenance and transportation while also symbolizing Egypt's connection to North Africa. Through this artwork, we gain insight into how people lived during this era - finding solace in simple dwellings that provided shelter from both harsh climates and wild landscapes. It invites us to appreciate not only our own modern comforts but also the resilience exhibited by those who came before us.
