PF73123 loose gelatin silver photos including 71 large images ca. 175x235 cm 6 ¾ x 9 in one photo ca. 175x205 cm 7x8 in and over forty images from ca. 13x18 cm 5x7 in to ca. 85x13 cm 3 ¼ x 5 in; five small photos are from ca. 8x105 cm 3 ¼ x 4 ¼ in to ca. 55x6 cm 2 x 2 ¼ in; six images are printed as real photo postcards. Three photos with period pencil captions in French on verso; one photo with an ink stamp “Compagnie Aérienne Française 18 Rue de Nanterre Suresnes” on verso. The images were previously removed from an album so most have remnants of mounting on the corners ca. 15 with minor tears or losses to corners. Several images with minor creases on extremities several slightly faded but overall a very good collection. Historically significant extensive collection of original gelatin silver photos showing a copper ore processing plant of the “Compagnie Minière du Congo Français” on the M’Vouvou River near the town of Mindouli French Congo modern-day Pool Department in the middle Congo region of the Republic of Congo. “Compagnie Minière du Congo Français” or CMCF 1911-1962 was established mainly for the extraction of the mineral resources of the Mindouli district reaching the height of its operations in the 1930s after the construction of the ore processing plant on the M’Vouvou River a tributary of the Loukouni which flows into the Niari – the main regional river in 1929. The company was closed shortly after the Republic of Congo gained independence in 1960. The photos include over twenty photos of the M’Vouvou processing plant and the adjacent French residential compound general and close-up views of the plant and the bungalows including six aerial views the factory French compound native villages and roads. Two photos have period pencil captions on verso reading: “Usine de la C.M.C.F. à Mindouli – M’Vouvou;” “Usine de traitement de minerai <…> à Mindouli Vouvou. Proprieté C.M.C.F…” Over seventy photos depict the Loukouni River one image is captioned “Les gorge de la Loukouni” and also most likely its tributaries M’Vouvou and Mindouli which surrounded the area where the plant was constructed. The photos show river valleys and gorges overhanging cliffs rapids and waterfalls with French residents swimming picnicking on the banks posing on a hanging bridge under the cliffs &c. There are also photos of native villages with thatched-roof houses a Congolese town street with an open-air restaurant the interior of a local infirmary with a Congolese caretaker; a biplane sign “O-BAHT” painted on the side with a group of French colonial residents; views of a capsized rail cart on a slope being examined by Congolese workers; portraits of French residents posing next to their bungalows or pretending to do a boxing match Congolese boatsmen and their pirogues workers and their families posing in front of their cottages women working in a field a young man climbing up a palm tree a mother with child and others. Overall an interesting extensive collection of original gelatin silver photos of the Mindouli ore processing plant and district in the middle Congo River in the 1930s. unknown

2014br. Il dottor Denis Mukwege è un gigante sorridente con lo sguardo pacifico e la voce rassicurante. Così viene descritto da chi lo ha incontrato e intervistato e dalle migliaia di donne vittime di violenza sessuale che ha curato nel suo ospedale, il Panzi Hospital nel Kivu Sud, la provincia più insanguinata della Repubblica Democratica del Congo. Da oltre vent'anni il ginecologo cuce e ripara, ascolta le storie delle sue pazienti, quando può prega, si indigna ma non si rassegna. A mani nude si batte contro le atrocità di una guerra in cui lo stupro è utilizzato come un'arma da tutti gli schieramenti e il corpo della donna si è trasformato in un nuovo campo di battaglia. Colette Braeckman, grande specialista del Congo, raccoglie la testimonianza fuori dal comune del dottor Mukwege, che in questi anni ha vissuto gli orrori della guerra in prima linea, sfiorando la morte più di una volta. Attraverso il racconto dell'uomo che ripara le donne, e che incessantemente è costretto a ricominciare tutto da capo, le sequenze del disastro acquistano nuova luce e soprattutto nuove ombre. Un piccolo "corso di storia" tra i moventi sotterranei dei signori della guerra senza fede né legge, le ambiguità del mondo della cooperazione, le colpevoli mancanze della comunità internazionale e la sorte riservata ai più deboli, popolazione inerme vittima dei saccheggi, bambini assoldati da mercenari senza scrupoli, e le donne, che pagano il prezzo più alto sulla propria pelle. Il risultato è un'opera che non può lasciare indifferenti, il resoconto spietato di una delle grandi tragedie ignorate dei nostri tempi, e il ritratto di un eroe moderno che ha consacrato la sua vita a un ideale, prendersi cura dei più bisognosi, diventare medico, essere un muganga.
