EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic engraving depicts a breathtaking view of the Upper Congo River in the late 19th century, as documented in the Spanish publication "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre" (The Congo and the Founding of its Free State). The image offers an intriguing glimpse into the geography and natural beauty of the African continent during an era of intense exploration and discovery. The Congo River, one of the world's most significant waterways, is prominently featured in the print, its meandering branches extending into the distance. The river's banks are dotted with lush vegetation, including towering trees that provide a striking contrast to the tranquil water. The Upper Congo, located in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is home to numerous tributaries and mountain ranges, which can be seen in the background. The image also reveals the presence of a traditional African boat, suggesting the importance of water transportation in the region. The Kingdom of Kongo, which once held sway over much of the area, is believed to have been influenced by both African and European cultures. The Congo Free State, established by Henry Morton Stanley in 1885, would later overshadow the Kingdom of Kongo, leading to a complex and tumultuous history. This panoramic view offers a contemporary perspective on the Upper Congo during the 19th century, providing a fascinating window into the natural and cultural landscape of a region that continues to captivate our collective imagination.
