EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the mission of King Behanzin of Dahomey (present-day Benin) in Paris. Taken from "Le Petite Journal" on December 2,1893, this image showcases an unknown artist's portrayal of the event. The photograph is part of a private collection and was captured by Leonard de Selva. Intriguingly, this snapshot sheds light on the complex dynamics between Africa and Europe during the era of colonialism and international relations. King Behanzin's visit to Paris symbolizes an attempt at diplomacy and negotiation between two vastly different cultures. The image itself exudes a sense of curiosity and wonder as we witness the meeting between French officials and the African king. It serves as a reminder that despite their differences, these individuals were united by their shared humanity. Through its intricate engravings, this print invites us to reflect upon historical events that have shaped our world today. It prompts us to question power dynamics, cultural exchange, and how they continue to influence our present-day understanding. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us back in time. This photograph is not just about one man's journey; it represents a larger narrative encompassing themes such as identity, colonization, and global interconnectedness.
