EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "English and Portuguese in East Africa, a Journey from Mandala to Ujiji through the Territory of the African Lakes Company" takes us on a visual voyage back to the 19th century. The print showcases an array of fascinating scenes and architectural wonders that were encountered during this historic expedition. In the foreground, we see a bustling market place with locals trading their goods, including dried fish and tobacco leaves. A stone church stands tall, symbolizing the influence of European culture in this distant land. Tribal dwellings dot the landscape, showcasing traditional African architecture. As our eyes wander further into the image, we notice significant landmarks such as Karonga Station and Lake Tanganyika. These locations served as pivotal points along this journey where encounters between English and Portuguese explorers took place. The presence of German influences is also evident in this engraving. A monument representing Germany's colonial aspirations can be seen amidst these diverse landscapes. This serves as a reminder of Europe's scramble for power over African territories during this era.
