EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of Pelerins Bambaras, also known as mollem or Muslim religious leaders, during a stop in Baoure on their way to Boudougou in Ivory Coast. The engraving, based on the drawing by P. Sellier, is part of Vice Admiral Fleuriot de Langles' voyage to the Côte d'Afrique in 1868. The Pelerins Bambaras are depicted as individuals who command respect from all populations they encounter. Their primary role is to moralize and guide communities through their deep understanding of Islamic teachings. Additionally, they engage in various practices such as manufacturing grisgris (amulets) and providing basic medical assistance. These religious leaders serve multiple purposes within society; they act as carriers of news and play crucial roles in facilitating peace negotiations between different groups. This image captures them during a momentary pause on their journey, reflecting both their physical endurance and spiritual commitment. Published in "Le tour du monde" by Edouard Charton and edited by Hachette Paris in 1873, this engraving offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Africa during the 19th century. It highlights the significance of these influential figures within African societies while shedding light on their diverse roles beyond religious leadership. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical moment for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
