Birds-eye view of the Gaboon Settlement - The Gaboon, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing photographic print that offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Gabon, a country located on the western coast of Central Africa. The image, taken from an unknown creator and published in H.W. Bates' "Illustrated Travels," provides a panoramic view of the Gaboon settlement during the 1870s. The scene is dominated by the natural beauty of the landscape, with the Gaboon River winding through the image, creating a serene and picturesque setting. The settlement itself is nestled along the riverbank, with a mix of European and African buildings, including what appears to be a church and several houses. The Gaboon settlement was established during the colonial period, with France taking control of the region in the late 19th century. The photograph also reveals the diversity of the population, with both black and white people visible in the scene. The Gabonese people, dressed in traditional attire, are shown going about their daily activities, while European settlers can be seen in the background, engaged in various pursuits. The image offers a unique perspective on the complex and multifaceted history of Gabon during the colonial era. The print, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, is a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve historical moments. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the impact of colonialism on the people and places it touched. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of African history or colonial studies, and a reminder of the rich and complex history of Gabon and its people.
