EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chief Kringer and His Family: A Glimpse into Gabonese Life in the Late 19th Century This photograph, titled "The Chief Kringer and His Family: The Gaboon," is an intriguing window into the lives of the Gabonese people during the late 19th century. The image is taken from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph depicts Chief Kringer, a prominent figure in Gabon, Central Africa, surrounded by his family. The chief, dressed in traditional attire, sits proudly in the center, with his wife and several children gathered around him. The women wear colorful fabrics adorned with intricate patterns, while the men, including an elder tribesman, are dressed in simpler garments. The setting of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but the lush greenery and the presence of a Griffon du Bellay, a type of monkey native to Central Africa, suggest that the scene is taking place in a forested area. The image provides a unique glimpse into the daily life of the Gabonese people, showcasing their close-knit family structure and their connection to their natural environment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Africa and the importance of preserving the traditions and stories of its people. The image also highlights the role of travel literature in documenting and sharing these stories with a wider audience, offering a valuable historical record of a bygone era.
