EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Belgium. Taken by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville, also known as JOB, it depicts Sergeant Henri de Bruyne and Lieutenant Joseph Lippens on the banks of La Lomami in Congo back in 1889. The image showcases the exploration efforts undertaken by Belgian explorers during this time period. With their stoic expressions, Sergeant de Bruyne and Lieutenant Lippens stand tall against the backdrop of the African landscape. Their presence symbolizes Belgium's ambitious quest to expand its influence and discover new territories. As they gaze into the distance, one can't help but wonder about their thoughts and emotions at that exact moment. Were they filled with excitement for what lay ahead or perhaps apprehensive about the challenges that awaited them? This photograph invites us to reflect upon these questions while contemplating the bravery and determination displayed by these explorers. JOB's skillful engraving technique adds depth to this historical snapshot, capturing not only the physical surroundings but also conveying a sense of adventure and curiosity. The image serves as a testament to both Belgium's colonial past and its impact on native African populations. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration was intertwined with imperialism. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to acknowledge history while striving for understanding and progress in today's world.
