Man Fishing on the Niger River
A photograph depicting a man seated on a riverbank, fishing with a large wooden rod. The man is dressed in a light-colored, long-sleeved button-down shirt and matching trousers. In the midground, a long, low-profile vessel with a dark hull and a canopy roof is anchored on the calm water of the Niger River, which reflects the dense tropical treeline in the background. A thick rope extends across the foreground, suggesting a site of transport or resource activity. The image was taken by Dr. William Henry Crosse, Principal Medical Officer of the Royal Niger Company, between 1886 and 1895.
