This photograph by Charles Bernhoeft, taken in 1894, shows a group of Congolese men sitting on a log in a recreated Congolese village at the Antwerp World's Fair. The photograph, part of a larger collection documenting the fair, provides a glimpse into the colonial exhibitions that were common in the late 19th century. The image raises questions about the representation of colonized peoples and the ethical implications of such exhibitions.
