EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, capturing a significant moment in history - the loading of a train at New Congo Railway from Matadi to Stanley Pool. The image showcases the remarkable feat of engineering that was the Cape to Cairo railway during its construction phase. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported to an era when steam-powered locomotives were at the forefront of African transportation. The rail tracks stretch into the distance, disappearing beyond our field of vision, symbolizing progress and connectivity across vast territories. The scene is reminiscent of Africa's colonial past, where empires sought to establish dominance through infrastructure development. This image serves as a visual testament to colonialism's impact on shaping nations and connecting diverse cultures within Africa. The steam train stands proudly in front of a bustling crowd, ready for departure. It represents not only a means of transport but also embodies an era known as the golden age of train travel. Its presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times when journeys were filled with anticipation and wonder. Preserved within this archive treasure lies more than just historical significance; it encapsulates human ingenuity and ambition. It reminds us how far we have come while honoring those who laid down these tracks over a century ago. This print by Archive invites us on an imaginary journey through time - one that sparks curiosity about our shared past while celebrating Africa's rich heritage in rail transportation.
