EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a vibrant scene from the city market of Leopoldville, the capital of the Congo Free State, in the late 19th century. Indigenous Congolese women are shown seated at their stalls, selling various goods to customers. Some women are attended to by young girls, while others cradle infants on their laps. The women are dressed in traditional attire, adorned with intricate patterns and bright colors, reflecting their unique ethnic identities. The Congo Free State, established in 1885 by Henry Morton Stanley, was a Belgian-ruled territory in Central Africa. This period marked the beginning of intense European colonization of the African continent. The market scene in Leopoldville offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Congolese people during this time. The economic exchange taking place in the market is a testament to the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the indigenous population, who continued to trade despite the challenges posed by colonial rule. The women's role as vendors was essential to the local economy, providing for their families and contributing to the larger community. This engraving, taken from "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre. Historia de los Trabajos y Exploraciones Verificados" (The Congo and the Founding of its Free State. A Story of Work and Exploration), published in Barcelona around 1890, offers a contemporary perspective on the lives of Congolese women during this era. The image captures the spirit and diversity of the Congo, a land rich in history and culture, and serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted experiences of African peoples during the colonial period.
