A Boma in the Forest. Illustration Published 1892 in Paris in Édouard Charton's Tour Du Monde Magazine ('around the World'), to Go with An Article on the Stairs Expedition to Katanga Written from the Journal of Explorer Christian De Bonchamps. 

This black and white wood engraving by Édouard Riou, titled "A Boma in the Forest," was published in the French magazine *Tour Du Monde* in 1892. It illustrates an article about explorer Christian De Bonchamps' journey to Katanga, a region in central Africa. The illustration depicts a fortified village, a "boma", in the dense forest with a group of men gathered in front of it. The detailed depiction of the African landscape and the boma's structure offers a glimpse into the life of the indigenous people of Katanga. Riou's illustration, while not a photographic representation, provided readers of *Tour Du Monde* with a visual narrative of De Bonchamps' expedition and a depiction of African life in the late 19th century.
