Bomen nabij Lukolela 1896

"Bomen nabij Lukolela" is a black and white photograph by Franz Thonner, a Belgian botanist and photographer, taken in 1896. The image, measuring 161 mm in height and 110 mm in width, depicts a grove of tall trees in the Lukolela region of the Congo. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the natural beauty of the Congo rainforest during the late 19th century. Thonner's work, often showcasing the flora and fauna of the region, contributed to a broader understanding of the Congolese landscape.
