Edouard Manduau (°1855 - †1937)

city life, hut
Legend:
The forge at Leopoldville showing a scene of everyday life in one of the first stations of the AIC in 1884. We see here how, with the means available to them, the agents of the AIC managed to organise themselves. They had to repair boats needed to navigate the river with the material at their disposal. A different version of this scene can be found in the archives of Manduau.
