SENEGAMBIAN PEOPLE. As a political unit, Senegambia was created by dueling French
SENEGAMBIAN PEOPLE. As a political unit, Senegambia was created by dueling French and English colonial forces in the region. Competition between the French and the English began in the 16th century when both started to establish trading centers. Although there was some overlap in their areas of influence, French trade centered on the Senegal River and in the Cap-Vert region and English trade on the Gambia River

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures the rich history and cultural influence of the Senegambian people. As a political unit, Senegambia was born out of fierce competition between French and English colonial forces in the 16th century. Both nations sought to establish trading centers, with the French focusing on the Senegal River and Cap-Vert region, while the English centered their trade along the Gambia River. The engraved image showcases a nineteenth-century style, reminiscent of historic art from that era. The illustrative technique used in this retro-styled print adds depth and character to its depiction of Senegambian life. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into an important chapter in African history. It reminds us of how these dueling colonial powers shaped not only trade but also influenced various aspects of culture within this region. As we admire this enchanting engraving, let us appreciate the resilience and strength exhibited by the Senegambian people throughout centuries of change. Their vibrant arts, traditions, and heritage continue to thrive today as they honor their past while embracing modernity
