EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative photograph captures the traditional fishing techniques of a Congolese fisherman on the shores of Lake Edward in the Eastern Congo, circa 1925. The serene scene portrays the fisherman skillfully using a basket to scoop up fish from the shallow waters of the lake. Dating back to the 1920s, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet effective methods used by local communities to sustain themselves. The fisherman, dressed in a loincloth, sits in a canoe made of local materials, expertly maneuvering his vessel in the calm waters. The basket, woven from reeds or other natural fibers, is an essential tool in his trade, allowing him to efficiently harvest small fish and other aquatic life. Lake Edward, located along the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, has long been an essential source of food and livelihood for the local population. The lake's rich biodiversity supports a variety of fish species, making it a vital resource for communities in the region. This photograph, taken during the 1920s, offers a window into a bygone era, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the Congolese people. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional fishing practices and the role they play in sustaining local communities and ecosystems.
