Mangoboom te Leopoldstad in de droge tijd 1896

"Mangoboom te Leopoldstad in de droge tijd" (1896) is a photographic print by Belgian botanist Franz Thonner (1863-1928). The image captures a single mango tree in Leopoldstad, the former name of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The photograph, likely taken during the dry season, showcases the tree's dense foliage and stark landscape, a visual testament to the African landscape and its changing seasons. Thonner's work contributed to the scientific documentation of flora in the Congo region, offering a glimpse into the natural world of this fascinating region.
