EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Childrens Orchestra in Gabon, 1876" takes us back to a time when music education knew no boundaries. The image showcases a group of young musicians from the Central African territory of Gabon, proudly displaying their talent and passion for music. Under the guidance of French artist Ronjat, Etienne Antoine Eugene, this orchestra represents the harmonious blend of cultures during the era of imperialism. These talented children are seen holding various instruments such as drums, brass horns, and other traditional African musical devices. The print captures not only their skill but also their youthful energy and enthusiasm. It serves as a testament to the power of education in fostering creativity and unity among diverse communities. In an empire that spanned continents, this scene reminds us that music transcends borders and unites people from all walks of life. Through these young musicians' dedication to honing their craft, they contribute to both entertainment and cultural preservation. Leonard de Selva's expert photography immortalizes this moment in history for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst colonialism's complexities, there were moments where shared passions brought people together – like these talented children who formed an extraordinary orchestra in Gabon over a century ago.
