EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Ngalyema, the revered chief of Kintamo, a village situated on the southern bank of the mighty Congo River. The image, created by the skilled hands of Spanish engraver Pedro Mullor, is a captivating portrait of Ngalyema, showcasing his regal bearing and the respect he commanded within his community. The portrait is part of "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre" (The Congo and the Founding of its Free State), a comprehensive account of the exploration and work carried out in the Congo region during the late 19th century. Ngalyema is depicted as a distinguished elder, seated and barefoot, adorned with an armband and a bracelet, symbols of his leadership and status within the Congolese tribal society. His age, marked by the lines on his face and the grey in his hair, adds to his aura of wisdom and experience. The portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the African continent and the diverse ethnicities that inhabit it. The exploration and documentation of the Congo region during this period was a significant chapter in the history of Africa, as European powers vied for control of the vast resources of the continent. Henry M. Stanley, the renowned American journalist and explorer, played a pivotal role in this era, chronicling his experiences and discoveries in "The Congo and the Founding of its Free State." This engraving, a visual representation of one of the native leaders he encountered, offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who called the Congo home during this transformative period in African history.
