EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the American mission on the Ogoway River, situated between Njole and Lambarene in Gabon. Dating back to around 1870, this image provides a glimpse into the early days of missionary work in Africa.
The scene is filled with intrigue as we see the humble structures of the mission against the backdrop of lush greenery and flowing waters. The missionaries who dedicated their lives to spreading Christianity and providing aid to local communities are depicted going about their daily tasks.
As we study this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when exploration and cultural exchange were at the forefront of international relations. The juxtaposition of Western influence against the natural beauty of Gabon creates a sense of wonder and curiosity about what life was like for both the missionaries and the indigenous people they sought to serve.
This print serves as a reminder of our shared history and interconnectedness as global citizens. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days while also acknowledging that there is still much work to be done in terms of understanding, respect, and collaboration across cultures.
