EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Un Baobab (Soudan)" transports us to the heart of Africa, capturing a moment in time during the Citroen Centre Afrique expedition. Executed by Alexander Yakovlev and published in Paris in 1927, this colour lithograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Sudan. In this image, we are drawn to an imposing baobab tree that stands tall amidst an oasis. The tree's majestic presence symbolizes strength and resilience, while its branches reach out as if embracing life itself. Surrounding it is a bustling village, where everyday life unfolds against the backdrop of this ancient marvel. The scene comes alive with activity as villagers gather around a watering hole nearby. They engage in their daily routines, drawing water from the well and sharing stories under the shade of the baobab's canopy. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into African life at that time – vibrant, communal, and deeply connected to nature. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize Louis Audouin-Dubreuil and Georges-Marie Haardt for their pioneering spirit in embarking on such expeditions. Through their efforts, they have allowed us to witness moments like these captured by Yakovlev – moments that celebrate Africa's diverse landscapes and cultures. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across continents and generations; it invites us to reflect on
