Gezicht op het Ponta do Dande before 1886

"Gezicht op het Ponta do Dande" is a black and white photograph by José Augusto da Cunha Moraes, taken before 1886. This photograph captures a scene of a beach with people loading boats, perhaps for fishing or trade. The photo provides a glimpse into the life and landscape of the Ponta do Dande region in Angola. The small size of the photograph, 116mm x 165mm, suggests it was likely a personal photograph, possibly taken for documentation or a personal collection. The image, while offering a glimpse into history, is somewhat obscured by the condition of the photograph, which is unfortunately damaged with several water stains.
