Vissersboot te Luanda before 1886

"Vissersboot te Luanda" (Fishing Boat in Luanda) is a photograph by José Augusto da Cunha Moraes, a Portuguese artist who was active from 1855 to 1933. The image captures a traditional fishing boat, its sail billowing in the wind, docked in the harbor of Luanda, Angola. Moraes's photograph, taken before 1886, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Luanda's fishermen and the coastal landscape of Angola during the colonial era. The small format of the image, measuring 118 mm by 165 mm, suggests that it was likely part of a larger album or collection of photographs.
