EDITORS COMMENTS
Edmond Hanssens (1843-1884): A Belgian Military and Colonial Administrator in the Congo This portrait depicts Edmond Hanssens, a significant figure in Belgian military and colonial history. Born in Belgium, Hanssens joined the expedition of Henry Morton Stanley to the Congo in the late 19th century. Stanley, an American journalist and explorer, was on a mission to establish a Belgian presence in the region on behalf of King Leopold II. Hanssens is shown here wearing a military uniform, complete with a distinctive hat, reflecting his role as a Belgian military officer. His bearded face, framed by a traditional hat, exudes an air of authority and determination. The engraving, taken from the book "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 glimpse into the contemporary colonial era. As a colonizer and administrator, Hanssens played a crucial role in the Belgian Congo's early history. His participation in Stanley's expedition marked the beginning of Belgium's involvement in African colonialism, which would last until the country's independence in 1960. The Upper River Zaire, a major waterway in the region, forms the backdrop to this portrait, emphasizing the exploratory nature of Hanssens's journey. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often controversial history of European colonialism in Africa. Hanssens's story is a testament to the era's spirit of adventure and the far-reaching impact of European powers on the African continent.
