EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph taken from H.W. Bates' "Illustrated Travels" published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London during the 1880s. The image captures a breathtaking riverscape of the Upper Senegal River in West Africa during the late 19th century. The river, meandering through the vast African landscape, is dotted with canoes, the primary mode of transport for the local Senegalese people. The tranquil waters reflect the clear blue sky, and the sun casts long shadows on the banks, creating a serene and picturesque scene. Lieutenant Mace, the British explorer and author of the accompanying text, embarked on a journey from the Senegal River to the Niger, documenting his experiences and observations. This photograph is a testament to the rich geographical and cultural diversity of the region, showcasing the natural beauty of the landscape and the resilient spirit of the local population. The image is a poignant reminder of the exploratory spirit of the 19th century, a time when Europeans were eager to discover and document the unknown corners of the world. The photograph's monochrome palette adds to its timeless quality, transporting us back to a bygone era. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to any collection of African art, travel literature, or geographical studies. It offers a glimpse into the history and culture of West Africa during a period of significant exploration and discovery. In conclusion, "View of the Upper Senegal: Journey from the Senegal to the Niger," is a stunning photograph that captures the essence of a bygone era. Its timeless beauty and historical significance make it a must-have for any collector of African art, travel literature, or geographical studies.
