EDITORS COMMENTS
Stanleyville, A Corner of the Quay; L'Ouest Africain, 1914, is an evocative photograph capturing a moment in time during the Belgian Congo era. The image, published in the Belgian magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," depicts a bustling riverbank scene at Stanleyville, now known as Kisangani, located on the shores of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The photograph showcases the diverse population of the region, with both African and European residents going about their daily activities. Boats of various sizes are docked at the quay, ready to transport people and goods up and down the mighty Congo River. The river, a vital artery for transportation in Central Africa, teems with activity as boats come and go. The European colonizers, dressed in suits and hats, can be seen interacting with the local African population, demonstrating the complex interplay of cultures during the colonial period. The photograph captures the spirit of the time, showcasing the unique blend of people, commerce, and geography that defined the Belgian Congo during the early 20th century. Despite the uncertain origin of the photograph, it offers a glimpse into a significant period in African history, providing valuable insights into the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of the Belgian Congo during the 1910s. The photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on African history, geography, or colonialism.
