This photo print, titled "GAFR2A-00026" offers a glimpse into the daily life of an African village nestled in the lush Congo basin. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this 19th-century woodcut illustration transports us back in time to a bygone era. In this enchanting scene, we witness the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. A traditional thatched-roof hut stands proudly amidst verdant surroundings, serving as a humble abode for a local family. The woman of the household tends to her domestic chores while gracefully balancing her responsibilities with care and grace. Surrounded by livestock and chickens freely roaming around, it is evident that farming plays an integral role in sustaining this rural community's livelihoods. The rooster's crow signifies the beginning of another productive day filled with agricultural activities.

This image serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by West African communities throughout history. Let us cherish this vintage masterpiece not only for its artistic value but also for its ability to transport us through time and space – offering glimpses into lives lived long ago within these vibrant villages tucked away in the heart of Africa's magnificent Congo basin.
