EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time on the shores of Sao Thome, Angola, in 1906. The image shows a group of passengers, mostly women and children, gathered on the western side of the ferry boat. Among them, a mother with a baby child on her back stands out, her determined expression and the weight of the world on her shoulders, as she waits for the ferry to depart. In the foreground, a stack of wicket containers is seen, adding to the scene's historical context. The containers were used to transport goods between the mainland and the island of Sao Thome, which was a significant trading post during the colonial era. The ferry, with its sails set against the backdrop of the open sea, symbolizes the connection between the African continent and its diaspora, as well as the enduring resilience of its people. The photograph, taken from a distance, invites us to reflect on the experiences of those who traveled by sea to reach their destinations. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse cultures that make up the African continent, and the stories of the people who have shaped it. This image, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another place and time.
