EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Resort of Apes on the Banks of the Senegal; Journey from the Senegal to the Niger,' dates back to the 1870s and is an exquisite image taken from H.W. Bates' 'Illustrated Travels.' The scene depicts a serene riverscape along the Senegal River in West Africa. The photograph captures the tranquility of the water as small rowboats glide effortlessly along its surface, transporting travelers and goods. The banks of the river are dotted with the silhouettes of trees, their branches reaching out towards the water. In the foreground, a group of apes, likely monkeys, can be seen lounging on the riverbank, adding a sense of wildness and intrigue to the scene. The title of the photograph, 'Resort of Apes,' suggests that this was a common sight for travelers on the Senegal River during this time. The photograph is a stunning representation of the geography and landscape of West Africa during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the transportation methods of the era, with boats being the primary means of travel along the Senegal and Niger Rivers. The image also highlights the rich cultural and natural diversity of the region, which was a popular destination for explorers and adventurers during this period. The photograph is believed to have been taken by Henry Walter Bates, a British naturalist and explorer, during his journey from the Senegal to the Niger. The image is from the book 'Illustrated Travels' published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of Africa, which continues to captivate and inspire travelers and adventurers to this day.
