EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to West Africa in the early 1930s, where three Congo natives are depicted with striking lip plates known as pelele. These traditional adornments were a significant cultural symbol among certain African tribes, representing beauty and status within their communities.
In this image, we see the three individuals engrossed in listening to a radio broadcast, showcasing a fascinating juxtaposition of ancient customs and modern technology. The expression on their faces reflects a mix of curiosity and wonder as they engage with this new form of communication that was rapidly spreading across the continent during that time period.
The intricate details captured in this photograph offer a glimpse into the diverse types of indigenous peoples found in Africa, each with their own unique traditions and practices. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage that has shaped the continent for centuries.
Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of the resilience and adaptability of African cultures in embracing change while holding onto their roots. This print is not just a historical document but also an invitation to reflect on how different societies interact with evolving technologies and ideas over time.
