EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases the diverse and fascinating methods of traveling in Congo. The image, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of transportation options available to Congolese people during this era. Intriguingly, we witness men engaged in various modes of travel across the African landscape. Some are seen carrying heavy loads on their backs, demonstrating their resilience and strength as they navigate through rugged terrains. Others appear to be using more unconventional means of transportation, perhaps reflecting the resourcefulness and adaptability required for survival in such challenging environments. The engraving is part of Middleton's Complete System of Geography, published in 1778. It serves as a visual testament to the vastness and complexity of Congo's geography while highlighting how its inhabitants have ingeniously devised ways to traverse these lands throughout history. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are reminded that travel has always been an integral part of human existence - a gateway to exploration, connection with others, and personal growth. This print not only captures different methods of traveling but also invites us to reflect on our own journeys - both physical and metaphorical - as well as appreciate the ingenuity displayed by those who came before us.
