EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Brazza Mission in West Africa during the late 19th century. The image showcases a significant moment between Pietro Paolo Savorgnan di Brazza, also known as Pierre Paul Francois Camille Savorgnan de Brazza, and the Batekes people. This engraving was featured in "Le Monde Illustre" in 1884 and is now part of a private collection. The scene captures the essence of colonialism, with French influence evident in both attire and architecture. It serves as a reminder of the complex history between Europe and Africa during this time period. The Batekes people are depicted standing proudly alongside their European counterparts, showcasing an exchange that undoubtedly shaped their lives forever. As we delve into this historical photograph, we can't help but reflect on the impact of colonization on native populations like those portrayed here. While it may be easy to romanticize or criticize these encounters from our modern perspective, it is crucial to understand them within their historical context. Through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are transported to a pivotal moment where cultures collided - bridging gaps while simultaneously creating new ones. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate not only the past but also its lasting effects on present-day Gabon and beyond.
