EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Camping-ground at Morebougou: Journey from the Senegal to the Niger," is an evocative photograph taken during the late 1800s, showcasing a serene camping scene in Morebougou, Mali. The image is from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph captures a moment of rest during Bates' expedition from the Senegal River to the Niger River in West Africa. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush vegetation, with tall trees and various plants dominating the landscape. In the foreground, a group of people, both black and white, are gathered around a campfire. Some are tending to the fire, while others are engaged in various activities, such as cooking or mending their clothes. The village of Morebougou is visible in the background, with its distinctive buildings and thatched roofs. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people living in this part of West Africa during the 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the adventurous spirit of travelers like Henry Walter Bates, who documented their journeys through stunning visuals. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of African art, history, or travel literature. It provides a unique perspective on the people, nature, and culture of West Africa during a time when European exploration and colonization were shaping the continent's future. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the world around us. This photograph is a rare and beautiful piece of history, captured by an unknown photographer and preserved for future generations to appreciate. It is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire us to explore the world around us.
