Fording the Bakhoy - A Pivotal Moment in Henry Walter Bates' Journey from the Senegal to the Niger, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fording the Bakhoy: Journey from the Senegal to the Niger," dates back to the 1870s and is an intriguing snapshot from the illustrated travels of Henry Walter Bates. The image, taken from "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, showcases a pivotal moment during Bates' expedition through West Africa. Bates, a British explorer, is depicted in the photograph, leading his horse and a group of local tribespeople across the River Bakoy. The river, which flows through present-day Mali, was a significant geographical feature that posed a challenge to Bates and his team during their journey. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural exchange between the explorer and the local population, as they navigate the river together. The background of the image is filled with the lush greenery of the African landscape, and the local tribespeople can be seen assisting Bates and his horse in crossing the river. The presence of horses in the photograph highlights the importance of these animals during expeditions in the 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of exploration and the cultural exchanges that took place during the 19th century. It offers a unique perspective into the lives of the explorers and the people they encountered on their journeys, providing valuable insights into the history of Africa and its exploration. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of African history, geography, or travel literature.
