EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, where we find ourselves on the majestic Congo River. The image showcases a traditional African dhow gracefully sailing through the waters, its sails billowing in the wind. This particular scene is captured from the pages of "Africa Pintoresca" a remarkable book published in 1888. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when exploration and adventure were at their peak, as intrepid travelers embarked on journeys along this iconic river. The Congolese crew skillfully maneuvered their vessel, navigating through lush greenery that lined both banks of the river. The dhow itself stands as a symbol of African craftsmanship and ingenuity. Its elegant design reflects centuries-old traditions passed down from one generation to another. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of Africa's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection with nature. Ken Welsh's expertise behind capturing historical moments shines through this photo print, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully into an era long gone but not forgotten. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of Africa's landscapes and its people who have shaped history along these very shores. Whether you are an avid collector or simply captivated by African history, this stunning print will transport you back to a time when dhows sailed proudly upon the mighty Congo River - forever preserving their legacy within our hearts.
